大全36

36. 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

OG解释如下：
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.
答案是E

我还是不怎么懂，为什么A不好？

like+n.一般放在句首或主语后，与句子进行比较，做状语

as+n.中as作为介词，表示“作为”，不表示比较

E中的it指代owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land, was对应is，of earlier generations对应of a majority of young adults，中间省略了a goal,补起来就是as it was （a goal) of earlier generations.
