[讨论]like和as的问题

easydudu

原题：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.

(B) as that for earlier generations

(C) just as earlier generations did

(D) as have earlier generations

(E) as it was of earlier generations

正确答案：E

分析：这句话我一看就认为是在考B do, like A的句式，再看看A选项里的that更是正确答案的标志，所以感觉必选无疑。但是正确答案却是E，这里我有几个问题不明白

1. 把like换成as是个GMAT中的典型错误不是吗？
2. “as作为连词，后跟不完整句子时应补出助动词，补出的助动词应和主句谓语动词保持一致”XDF老师上课时的讲解，并且说根据这个原则，C和D选项中的did和have都应改成was就对了，对于这点我想请各位NN们再次帮我确认一下，因为看上去不是earlier generation是goal，而是他们have这个goal，多谢。

不是, 经常有题互换.

2. “as作为连词，后跟不完整句子时应补出助动词，补出的助动词应和主句谓语动词保持一致”XDF老师上课时的讲解，并且说根据这个原则，C和D选项中的did和have都应改成was就对了，对于这点我想请各位NN们再次帮我确认一下，因为看上去不是earlier generation是goal，而是他们have这个goal，多谢。
E中省了a goal, 那个it = owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land, 补全了就是: as [owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land] was (a goal) of earlier generations.  C and D 中动词改成was后earlier generation和owning and living平行, 就变成earlier generation是a goal.

as 做连词，修饰整个句子。而且最好保证句子的结构的对应

E: as it was of( a dream )earlier generations

因为dream和主句重复，所以省略for conciseness

cx1205

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.

(B) as that for earlier generations

(C) just as earlier generations did

(D) as have earlier generations

(E) as it was of earlier generations

刚刚看到这题,有疑问,e中it,og说是指代前面句子的主语owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land ,第一个问题,it可以指代这样长的名词结构吗,我记得og里有一个是that指代好象是amount of energy一个类似的结构 不过og说可以我想就应该可以吧

第二的问题就是e中的it 和 原文中的its指代是同一事物吗,这里有点晕

#1  当然可以。这两个ing结构都是 名词结构（gerund），充当的是名词功能。所以it 指代是没问题的

关于#2， 我觉得在一个句子中 it和他的 genitive (its) 应当指的一个事物。在这句话中好象不太符合这个要求。

谢谢大家先。

4楼的问题2，我觉得提得很好，鄙人都忽略了呢。的确，同一个代词(it/its)在一句话中应指代同一个事物，这应该算个correctness的错误吧。

在同一句句子中不行.

在从句中可以. 见OG129, their = Italian vintners, they = wines
