OG 82 help, let's fight for the dream

yanxihua00

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


Here the OG Answer is "E".

But as per OG, like is used to compare nouns. So shouldn't "A" and "B"be the answer ? Are we not comparing the below two in this question ?
1. Goal of earlier generations.
2. Goal of current generation.
and i think the E answer should be added "that ",in this way, it seems more appropriate.


帮助下我吧，谢谢

E对我能理解，可是A错在哪里？A的like + that +of结构不就等于E的as + it was + of结构？如果说E的it was指代的是bla blah was a goal，那A的that指代的是goal不是也和前面对的结构平行？

求解啊求解

我觉得it指代前文名词（同类同物），that 指代同类不同物。  like 作比较时通常是放句首用吧 like+名词，名词。。。。。。。        以上都不确定哈
