Hi DD!dumb.doofus wrote:B and E are as such out because Like is used for nouns and as is used for clauses.
C is out because it should end with "as people do" and not "as people can"
A is out because computers can be programmed or could be programmed, computers by themselves are not able to program..
Only choice left is D.
I dont like this sentence though.. coz we are comparing computers with people.. we are comparing ability to think.. and so I would have preferred a clause starting with "as"...
Can you explain a bit when to use do, be or the auxiliary forms in case of comparison as done in the choices?
