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）

(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.

1，单个as引导的应该是方式状语从句。as...as的第二个as才引导比较状语。

2，既然是方式状语，有必要主语对应吗？

180. Quasars are so distant that their light has taken billions of years to reach the Earth; consequently, we see them as they were during the formation of the universe.

(A) we see them as they were during（A）

这里的as前后主谓就不对应。

我的想法可能有问题，但我无法说服自己。请NN解惑。

第一个句子是在进行类比，应该前后采用一致的形式；第二个句子的as是“当……的时候”的意思，没有必要和主句形式相同。

og60的句式就是：As A do, B do结构的前后倒置。
