关于ike 和 as, OG12 82

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
答案是E，我选了A，我觉得that可以指 a goal啊，然后就可以对比了
选E是否因为比较模式，在句尾的话，习惯性用as呢？

like用在比较里要求比较对象一致，而这里的主语是owning and living，显然和like 后面的that of earlier generations不一致啦~

这一题同问。
那为什么it可以指代owning and living啊？

dadaowuxing

这题据说是优选吧，按照其他题目答案it应该不能指代owning and living in a
freestanding house on its own land

IESE

同问啊，为什么A中that不能指代goal呢？
