15. According to his own account, Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty, modeled the face of the statue like his mother’s and the body like his wife’s.

(A) modeled the face of the statue like his mother’s and the body like his wife’s

(B) modeled the face of the statue after that of his mother and the body after that of his wife

(C) modeled the face of the statue like his mother and the body like his wife

(D) made the face of the statue after his mother and the body after his wife（B）

(E) made the face of the statue look like his mother and the body look like his wife

为什么要选B呢?不懂,偶选的是A...

I choose B.

1. Should use "after" here. and B is better than D in clarity.

2. "like + noun/pronoun" is used to modify the whole sentence.

The "noun/pronoun" should be logicallly comparable to the

subject

of the sentence: if you choose A, the comparison is between

"Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi"

and "his mother’s (face)". It is not logically right.
