OG12 58(just as)

abjure

58. A leading fi gure in the Scottish Enlightenment, Adam
Smith’s two major books are to democratic capitalism
what Marx’s Das Kapital is to socialism.
(A) Adam Smith’s two major books are to
democratic capitalism what
(B) Adam Smith’s two major books are to
democratic capitalism like
(C) Adam Smith’s two major books are to
democratic capitalism just as
(D) Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to
democratic capitalism similar to
(E) Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to
democratic capitalism what

Idiom; Logical predication
A leading fi gure in the Scottish Enlightenment
describes Adam Smith, not his two books, so the
name of Adam Smith must immediately follow
the opening phrase. Th e comparison between
Smith’s books and Marx’s book is expressed as a
ratio, so the correct idiomatic expression is x is to y
what a is to b.
A Th e opening phrase is a dangling modifi er
because it describes Smith, not his books.
B Th e opening phrase is a dangling modifi er;
like is an incorrect word for making the
comparison.
C Th e opening phrase is a dangling modifi er;
just as is an incorrect term for the comparison.
D Similar to is an incorrect conclusion to the
comparison introduced by are to.
E Correct. Th e opening phrase is followed by
the subject that it modifi es, Adam Smith,
and the comparison of the two men’s work is
presented idiomatically.
Th e correct answer is E.

答案没有问题， 知识不明白OG 中的C 选项 JUST AS IS AN INCORRECT TERM FOR THE COMPARISON 什么意思

谢谢帮忙

个人理解OG的意思是gmat范畴里，只有just as A do，so B do 这种固定的搭配，所以此题的just as 使用不正确

谢谢

第二遍再次在同一 个地方倒下，，，

求nn 指导

c:  just as is an incorrect term for the comparison.
是不是用just as 表比较就错呢。

d中og 解释不是很懂阿。D Similar to is an incorrect conclusion to the
comparison introduced by are to.

c的意思就是在这里用just as来做比较是不正确的
D的意思其实跟C一样，只不过是换了一个说法
用similar to来引导be to的比较也是不对的
其实它怎么讲述不重要 关键是这个解释的重点在哪里

A is to B what C is to D.
记住这个句型就好、

刚看了一下小胖子语法心得，叙述内容如下：
what = just as,意为“恰像，犹如，好比”用作连词,引导比较状语从句
(1) 惯用句式是：A is to B what C is to D. 意为“A对B而言正如C对D一样”例如：
Air is to us What water is to fish.  空气对于我们犹如水对于鱼。(介词to表示两者的关系)
(2)    也有“A is for B what C is for D.”句式。例如：
Poultry is for the cook what canvas is for the paint. 厨师离不了家禽正如画家离不开画布一样。（介词for表示“供…使用”）
(3)    what 引导的从句也可以放在句首,其句式是: What C is to D, that A is to B.(= A is to B what C is to D.)
在这一结构中，喻体在前，主体在后，相当于“just as...,so...”结构,意思也是“A对B而言正如C对D一样”例如:
What blood vessel is to a man's body, that railway is to transportation.（=Just as blood vessel is to a man's body, so Railway is to transportation.）铁路对于运输,好比血管对于人体一样。
(4)    需要注意的是what不可以直接被just as替换，just as需要有遵循属于自己的平行比较格式。
不知道是否对LZ有帮助

疑问~这是两个从句并列还是that指代了前面的某个部分？若是指代了那that指代的哪部分呢？


后面蓝色的just as…so…是不是也算没有主句呢？

对这题同样有些模糊的童鞋帮顶，待更多讨论~
