archeological excavations of Roman ruins on the Greek island of Crete show that securing control over the maritime trade routes of the Eastern Mediterranean was a primary goal of the Romans, as it was of the Greeks in preceding centuries.
A as it was of the Greeks
B like that of the Greeks
C as that of the Greeks
D just as the Greeks did
E as did the Greeks
AB分不出来啊~~~为么选A？？？

同问，同问，搞不懂

因为无论对于Romans还是Greeks来说
securing control over the maritime trade routes of the Eastern Mediterranean  也就是control  是同一件事
所以前面出现 后面用it指代

而如果用that of就变成了另一个事物 也就表达了roman的control和greeks的control这样子了 违背了原句想表达的“control对于roman就像control对于greek”

可不可以理解成：
宾语从句中securing control over the maritime trade routes of the Eastern Mediterranean（主语）  was (谓语)    a goal(宾语)  of Romans
如果选B，想表达like {securing control over the maritime trade routes of the Eastern Mediterranean（主语）  was (谓语)    a goal(宾语) }of the Greeks
而 that 只能指代一个单数名词，不能指代一个句子。。。。
不知道对不对哦~~~

可是that不能指代a goal 么？？？
