A中that是不能这样来指代的。具体可参考that的用法。E中was后省略了a goal,so it is a better choice.

like 做"好像"意思时候,结构是like A, B do.

而且A,B必须是性质完全相同的事物.

这里倒了一下, 即成为 ...is a goal of..., like A.

此处则为 B(owning and living ) is..., like A.

由此可推得此处A要用一个 动作性名词, 来与B比较, 而不是 goal 来做比较对象.

所以如果 like 不能跟that of earlier generations,

上课听来的, 不知道lz看法如何.
