求各位进来看like vs as

sandefia

Based on recent box office receipts, the public's appetite for documentary films, like nonfiction books, seems to be on the rise.
A. like nonfiction books
B. as nonfiction books
C. as its interest in nonfiction books
D. like their interest in nonfiction books
E. like its interest in nonfiction books
有两个问题
（1）A错的原因是因为不平行吗？
（2）为什么public's的指代是its,不是their
跪谢！

应该是拿public的appetite  对于nonfiction books ， 和 public的appetite对于documentary films 的对比


对于你第二个问题
"
But between (D) and (E) which one?

Well, it's also testing singular vs plural (public - singular or plural?)

Public refer to a collection of people, but the word itself is SINGULAR.

So between (D) and (E), you have to choose (E): like its interest in nonfiction books. "
