Turtles, as with other reptiles, can endure long fasts because they can survive on weekly or even monthly feedings; however, when food is readily available, they may eat frequently and grow very fat.

(A) as with other reptiles

(B) as other reptiles are able to

(C) as other reptiles do

(D) like other reptiles

(E) like other reptiles are able to do

 答案是d,为什么c不对？

like other reptiles modifies turtles directly. if as-clause is uesd, it should be put after the verb of the main sentence. furthermore, do should be replaced by can.

my opinion, not sure
