大全上的36,OG上的60. 谢!
60. According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults, like that of earlier generations.
A.    like that of earlier generations
B.    as that for earlier generations
C.    just as earlier generations did
D.    as have earlier generations
E.    as it was of earlier generations
The intended comparison should be completed by a clause beginning with as and containing a subject and verb that correspond to the subject and verb of the main clause. In E, the best choice, it refers unambiguously to the phrasal subject owning ... land, the verb was corresponds to is, and today's young adults are appropriately compared to earlier generations. Choices A and B lack a verb corresponding to is and a clear referent for that. Choices C and D are confusing and illogical because their verbs, did and have, cannot substitute for is in the main clause.

觉得这里A也可以，句末的like结构修饰主句的宾语结构 “a goal of a majority of young adults”，like that。。。中的that指代goal。错在哪里？

我也问过这个问题

这是个B do,like A结构
也就是说A要和B对等
所以，that of earlier generations相对的应该是owning and living
而非goal

Like A, B do结构中,A和B一定要对等;
但现在是 B do/be C, like A. 这里A不可以和C对应嘛?

like放在句首和句尾的功能是一样的，它都只能修饰主句的主语，不能修饰宾语，所以that的指代是有问题的，只能用as来引导一个相应的句子来修饰。
