请教一道很难的SC题目

爱吃巧克力

。。。。我真的认为好难

According to a recent poll,owing and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults,[ like that of earlier generations].

B as that for earlier generations

请问答案为什么选E，请教as和like的详细用法

A中，like放在句尾，一般是修饰主句句首名词，即主句主语。
B中as后面没有跟句子，而且应该是that of earlier generations.
C中did无法还原
D中have无并列对象
E对。
