19. Although it claims to delve into political issues, television can be superficial such as when each of the three major networks broadcast exactly the same statement from a political candidate.
(A) superficial such as when each of the three major networks
(B) superficial, as can sometimes occur if all of the three major networks
(C) superficial if the three major networks all
(D) superficial whenever each of the three major networks
(E) superficial, as when the three major networks each

Answer: E. 有"AS WHEN"用法么？why not just "as" or just "when"?
why is Ｃincorrect?

这题我也觉得怪怪的，试着解释一下：
这里的as的用法 == just as ，是对television can be superficial的一个举例。

我的理解是，首先，有as when的组合，我在逻辑里揪出了两个例子（兴奋不已啊！）。
21. The initial causes of serious accidents at nuclear power plants have not so far been flaws in the advanced-technology portion of the plants. Rather, the initial causes have been attributed to human error, as when a worker at the Browns Mills reactor in the United States dropped a candle and started a fire, or to flaws in the plumbing, exemplified in a recent incident in Japan. Such everyday events cannot be thought unlikely to occur over the long run.
19. The charge made above against alternative medicine is most seriously weakened if it is true that
(A) predictions based on orthodox medicine have sometimes failed, as when a patient has recovered despite the judgment of doctors that an illness is fatal
(B) alternative medicine relies on concepts of the body and of the nature of healing that differ from those on which orthodox medicine is based
(C) alternative medicine provides hope to those for whom orthodox medicine offers no cure
(D) a patient’s belief in the medical treatment the patient is receiving can release the body’s own chemical painkillers, diminish allergic reactions, and promote healing
(E) many treatments used for a time by orthodox medicine have later been found to be totally ineffective
其次，as肯定是连词，意思是“正如”，when作副词。加在一起，结合这三个例子，“as when”的意思可以理解为“正如当…的时候。”

好象总是咱们仨你唱我和的.我都不指望别人回答我的问题了

奇怪！好象the three major networks each后面应该接谓语+S。可是未划线部分broadcast是没加S。C项中the three major networks all倒是接broadcast不加S才对。WHY？

But why "as when" is better than "if"?

cxj · 发表于 2003-10-17 11:22:00

This is the explanation about "each" from American Heritage dictionary.For reference!
The traditional rule holds that when the subject of a sentence begins with  each, it is grammatically singular, and the verb and following pronouns must be singular as well:
Each of the suites has (not  have)  its (not  their)  own private entrance (not  entrances). When  each follows a plural subject, however, the verb and subsequent pronouns remain in the plural:
The suites each have their own private entrances (not  has its own private entrance). An exception is made when  each follows the verb with a first-person plural subject: one may say either  We boys have each our own roomor  We boys have each his own room, though the latter form is somewhat stilted in modern use. · The expression  each and every is likewise followed by a singular verb and singular pronoun in formal style:
Each and every driver knows (not  know)  what his or her (not  their)  job is to be.

可是，这题中E为什么比C好？

if 和when在这题中有什么区别吗？会影响句子的判断？？

谢谢。
