189. Proponents of artificial intelligence say they will be able to make computers that can understand English and other human languages, recognize objects, and reason as an expert does—computers that will be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan, or other purposes such as these.

(A) as an expert does—computers that will be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan, or other purposes such as these

(B) as an expert does, which may be used for purposes such as diagnosing equipment breakdowns or deciding whether to authorize a loan

(C) like an expert—computers that will be used for such purposes as diagnosing equipment breakdowns or deciding whether to authorize a loan

(D) like an expert, the use of which would be for purposes like the diagnosis of equipment breakdowns or the decision whether or not a loan should be authorized（C）

               (E) like an expert, to be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan or not, or the like

我想问问，C中like...的修饰对象是computer吗？但我总觉得like的位置怪怪的，感觉修饰名词的like...结构应该和被修饰词相邻啊？ 大家请看

(D) Marriage to Samuel Sewall, like other seventeenth-century colonists, was viewed as a property arrangement rather than（E）

(E) Samuel Sewall, like other seventeenth-century colonists, viewed marriage as a property arrangement rather than

In E, the best choice, a modifying phrase begun by like immediately follows the name it modifies, Samuel Sewall. E also uses the idiomatic construction viewed marriage as.... Choice A inserts an adverbial modifier, as other... colonists, without the necessary did. It also uses the unidiomatic construction viewed marriage like.... Both B and C use the unidiomatic construction viewed marriage to be.... C incorrectly places the adjective phrase like other... colonists after the word arrangement, which it cannot logically modify. D offers a confusing and awkward passive construction marriage to Samuel Sewall... was viewed....

请NN解惑啊....

1.选最好的，所以就算189的C中like有问题，也是相对小问题，C项跟其它比依旧是最好的。

2.我认为like an expert, 在这里可以理解为介词短语作状语修饰动词understand等，不一定如147那样是形容词短语修饰主语。

这里like修饰的是reason，作为状语。破折号后面的东西也是解释reason的，也就是说后面是reason的内容举例
