iselibra

1. just as... so是经典用法，like...so就不对了

iselibra

2.as...已经有了also的意思了
3.aid in doing也是固定用法，lzm书上有介绍
4.我也吃不准，感觉上d好一些，期待大n解释
5.sth of 重在限定，而sth that重在解释，况且这里make it understandable和understanding的意思恐怕不一样把

iselibra

6.主语是rate，怎么能as fast as呢

miejue

1 Just as ... so 是习惯用法 如果用like 后面的so是多余的 而且1890s Populists的修饰词位置不正确 和后边的leaders of the 1990s也不对称。

2 as用在A do as B do时不放在句首 而且also这里语义重复 应该去掉

3 这题我不知道有没有aid in doing的用法 至少我只知道有in aid of的用法 aid to+名词的用法 和 aid +不定式的用法 请NN Gemj来看看

4 B中the decision at its 1833 founding有逻辑表达错误 it也容易造成指代歧义（指代decision－1833年成立的决定？）应该是the decision made at its 1833 founding.

5 这里的主语是reseach 不可数名词 谓语动词用复数形式 has

6 同意iselibra的看法 rate为主语 如果用as连接应该是as much as 同时谢谢iselibra的解释 刚开始我也愣住了 觉得好几个答案都对 现在幡然醒悟：）

3.
aid作名词可以跟in doing，见下面的例子：
