两道不明白其他选项为何错的题

16.   No matter how patiently they explain their reasons for confiscating certain items, travelers often treat customs inspectors like wanton poachers rather than government employees.

(A) travelers often treat customs inspectors like wanton poachers rather than government employees

(B) travelers often treat customs inspectors as wanton poachers instead of government employees

(C) travelers often treat customs inspectors as if they were not government employees but wanton poachers

(D) customs inspectors are often treated by travelers as if they were wanton poachers rather than government employees（D）

(E) customs inspectors are often treated not like government employees but wanton poachers by travelers

答案是A，疑问是:treat sb like ...是不是不对，正确的固定搭配是什么？其实D的句子结构是A be treated by B as if A were（虚拟）C rather than D，这个结构似乎和 treat sb like 的意思有点不同，是B对待（看待）A 就像A是C，而不是D，但treat sb like 估计是说把A就像C那样看待。有点搞不清，请教请教。

(A) the depiction of scenes of life and death in the marine world with emotional overtones that

(B) fact that it depicts marine world scenes of life and death as having emotional overtones that

(C) depiction of scenes of life and death in the marine world, whose emotional overtones

(D) depiction of marine world scenes of life and death, which have emotional overtones and thus（A）

(E) fact that if depicts scenes of life and death in the marine world, whose emotional overtones

这题答案是A， 我对此没有疑问，不过当时想不出C有什么很有说服力的错，仅仅是因为一个冠词不可缺的问题吗？这个不太有力啊（很多GMATD的句子也可以没有the 或 a)，当然，也希望确认一下.而且后面用with emotional overtones that和 , whose emotional overtones，我觉得都对，这里有没有什么区别吗？

14.   A discussion of our nation’s foreign policy must begin with the fact of there being an independent Western Europe which now thinks of itself in trans-nationalist terms.

(A) A discussion of our nation’s foreign policy must begin with the fact of there being

(B) Beginning any discussion of our nation’s foreign policy must be the fact of there being

(C) Any discussion of our nation’s foreign policy must begin with the fact that there is

(D) Any discussion of our nation’s foreign policy must begin by acknowledging the existence of（D）

(E) To begin discussing our nation’s foreign policy thee must be an acknowledgment of the fact that

答案是D，但我想不通C有什么问题，不要说只要是there be 结构就不对，那是XDF的说法，不是真正的解释。

最后一题用begin with 也好像没有搭配错啊。

as==>as if 是典型的错误

就像like变ｓｅｅｍ一样

其他的就希望各位大牛来讲解下啦

抱歉，抱歉，当时写错，答案是D，但疑问是一样的，虽然不明白A的错，但就把D当作固定搭配背下来吧。其他两题有没有高手指点一下？
