求助OG13 SC 85题

hpnew07

原题如下：

OG13 SC 85
According to a recent poll, owning 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.
A. like that of earlier generations
B. as that for earlier generations
C. just as earlier generations did
D. as have earlier generations
E. as it was of earlier generations

正确答案是E，OG的解释是：“This sentence compares a single goal shared by generations. The second part of the sentence must have the same structure as the first part: a clause with a subject and a verb...”. 这个可以理解。但是既然是compare a single goal，原句中的that可以指代the goal吧，这样直接比较为什么不可以？望大家指点

that没有清晰的指代,指代majority的嫌疑很大。以下是ron更为详细的解释:
'that of earlier generations' is a problem. Specifically, 'that of' doesn't have a clear referent, because there's no strong parallel structure to determine it anymore. It could conceivably stand for 'goal', 'majority', or perhaps even 'freestanding house' or 'land'. And if you go by the best possible parallelism, 'that of' seems to refer to a majority, because that's the word placed right before '...OF young adults' (which seems to work in parallel with '...OF earlier generations').

关于As and like的区别：
As:用于比较动词或事情发生的方式(通常是整句话)
like用于比较名词

按句意that指代owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land，显然是不适合的。E中用的形式主语所以没有问题

个人觉得这道题最核心，最核心，最核心的东西是like的比较必须是针对两个不同的东西。
Like apple, banana ...

为什么that指代模糊就错，那it指代模糊就不错呢？

因为IT后面有个was，跟原文里面的……is形成对比，所以it虽然是指那件事情，但是it was这样的结构就变成了和前面的句子进行对比

而that只有单单一个，这样只能that跟前面的一件事情对比而已。

所以选E

因为用it的E选项是个很漂亮的平行，可以看到与前面一一对应 这样子指代就很清楚啦
