Although fruit can no longer grow once it is picked, it continues for some time to

respire,taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide, similar to the way human

beings breathe.

(A) similar to the way human beings breathe

(B) similarly to human beings who are breathing

(C) just like the breathing of human beings

(D) as human beings when breathing

(E) just as human beings do when they breathe

答案是E, 请问A哪里不好?

similar的修饰对象是谁？按照A来说，应该是就近修饰carbon dioxide，但是逻辑意思应该是比较两个动作。 just as引导的句子是常用的比较。
