OG91 老题新问,翻过讨论帖

91. Like many self-taught artists, Perle Hessing did not begin to paint until she was well into middle age.

(A) Like

(B)
                         As have

(C) Just as with

(D) Just like

(E)
                         As did

Choice A, the best answer, is concise and grammatically correct, using the comparative preposition like to express the comparison between many self-taught artists and Perle Hessing.
            

In C and D, Just as with and Just like are both unnecessarily wordy.

难道A比D好,只是因为D多了一个just?

just like没有redundant呀

难道这里要用ETS的concise原则?

所以like>just like

请NN指点

just---exactly or equally:
e.g.

This carpet would be just right for the dining room.
The twins look just like each other.
Things turned out just as I expected.
