| og 60 (大全36) 关于that指代不明和like的词性
60. 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
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. In E, the best choice, it refers unambiguously to the phrasal subject owning ... land, the verb was corresponds to is, and today's young adults are appropriately compared to earlier generations. Choices A and B lack a verb corresponding to is and a clear referent for that. Choices C and D are confusing and illogical because their verbs, did and have, cannot substitute for is in the main clause.
请问大家, 为什么like后一定要有is那? Like也可做prep, 并不一定作连词啊? 是不是因为逗号的原因?

Like, prep,
Her hair is dark brown like mine.
A club should be like a big family.

另外, 为什么that指代不明呢? That是单数所以显然不能指代young adults, 那么就是指代goal…
