GWD-30-Q16关于like的用法

reddragon

Researchersare using computer images to help surgeons plan difficult operations and todevelop programs that will work for doctors and nurses in the same way thatflight simulators do for pilots, letting medical personnel practice theirtechniques and test their reflexes before they ever see a patient.
A.   plan difficult operations and to developprograms that will work for doctors and nurses in the same way that flightsimulators do
B.   plan difficult operations and developprograms to work for doctors and nurses the same way as with flight simulators
C.   to plan difficult operations and to developprograms that will work for doctors and nurses like flight simulators
D.   plan difficult operations and in developingprograms to work for doctors and nurses the same way as flight simulators
E.    to plan difficult operations and developingprograms that will work for doctors and nurses like flight simulators do
答案是A，主要的争论点在C。
在以前的讨论中，有NN讲过like后面只能接名词，如果遇到句子的话则应该用as。
在这个C选项中，最完整准确的表述似乎应该是“that will work for doctors and nurses as flight simulators will work for pilots". 这里我有两个问题：
一是我查了一下，like也可以作为连词作“像。。。一样、如同”讲，那么是不是前面讨论中关于as和Like的区别实际是不存在的，这里也可以使用like？
二是在like或者as后面的句子里谓语动词的省略，是不是“will work”只能省略成“do”，而不能将“do”也省略掉，就像C选项一样？
请NN指教！

like表示比较的话只能接名词的不能接句子吖~as才能接句子~~~

reddragon

逻辑上应该是"to help"和“to develop"平行，因为surgeons不会帮助doctors and nurses设计程序。

按照2楼的说法，是不是like后面只接一个名词是最好的用法，所以不应该有接一个句子或是其他复杂结构的用法？

我觉得是to help和to develop 平行呢。

请问一下
A中 help plan和to develop是不平行的八？
但A中的the same way that 加从句感觉会比like好

painsper

我觉得有两种可能解释
一是后面有一个for pilots,难道不觉得说like...for...很奇怪么？
二是like应该更接近其修饰的名词会好些，C的话是不是会产生歧义呢？
