A吧

aaroncheng

选E    were 虚拟。

应该选E。
原因主要在于此句话是虚拟语气，后面应该跟as if/though ....were...的形式，因为句子的内容是在阐述与事实相反的内容，所以应该用were的形式。

A will snap easily, as though it was a twig（was错误，不是正确的虚拟语气用法）
B will snap easily, like a twig does（like后面不能接整句话）
C will snap easily, as though it is a twig（it is也不对，等待更完善的if条件从句解释）
D might snap easily, as though it was a twig（might不能作为对将来时的判断，it was错误）
E will snap easily, as though it were a twig

34. Rust can deteriorate a steel pipe to such an extent that it
   will snap easily, as though it was a twig.
A will snap easily, as though it was a twig
   was错
B will snap easily, like a twig does
   like是类比，不是举例    
C will snap easily, as though it is a twig
   对
D might snap easily, as though it was a twig
   was错
E will snap easily, as though it were a twig
   were错

答错了

错因：Hypothetical虚拟语气基本功错
Hypothetical虚拟语气：unlikely or unreal condition
格式：
   1）由if/as if/as though引导
   2）等于verb的一般过去时；但to be只等于were（例如if I were a rich man）

like和as的区别（复习）
like cannot be followed by a whole sentence.

might和will的区别
might is not the right verb. will means that something will or will not happen（也就是会不会的问题）, but might means something could or could not happens（能不能的问题）. So, basically, these two verbs cannot interchange

Interesting question. Although 'as if it were' is a subjunctive, the first part of the sentence is not a subjunctive, it's a simple prediction. For predictions we usually use 'will'. We would say "Steve is so tired that he will fall asleep soon." not "Steve is so tired that he would fall asleep soon."
