Similar to other early Mississippi Delta blues singers, the music of Robert Johnson arose from an oral tradition beginning with a mixture of chants, fiddle tunes, and religious music and only gradually evolved into the blues.

OG2019 SC767，答案很容易选，但OG的解释让我很迷惑：
在A,B的解释中“Similar to is a wordy and imprecise form of comparision here"

我一直以为两者区别不到，所以现在已经进化到多个单词就wordy了吗...Orz

有没有大佬能解释一下呢？

没大神顶你啊，只能我这个菜到处找找信息了
大神ron对这个的解释不太让人满意，模模糊糊的
Mike大神的解释如下:

The phrase "like X" can be used as a noun modifier, either at the beginning of the sentence, before the subject, or elsewhere adjacent to the noun.
Like Fred, Sally does X
..... to Fred who, like Sally, was not ...
I have NEVER seen "similar to" used on the GMAT in this way. This sounds wordy and awkward --- this never could be correct.

As vinay1983 suggest, the word "similar" may be used correctly as a predicate adjective ----
Korean is similar to Finnish in that ....
Conceivably, the construction could be correct in this form, although, again, I don't know that I have ever seen it on the GMAT.

我查了字典，感觉similar to的用法只能是
A is similar to B
Xxx A similar to b ( I got tough problems similar to his )

这种直接的表达

啊啊啊谢谢“菜”大佬！

想想的确也没见过其他题similar to放在最前面的了，只能按照OG官方来，死记前置的话similar to没有like好了....

以前不知道在哪里看到的关于这个similar的解释，当时做了笔记：similar to的感觉是，A和B相似，likeA，B则是像A那样做了什么事情。不知道楼主get了没
