guys ,
if the sentence were to be modified as below , would it be grammatically correct? I m not questioning OA but just trying to understand AS

1.As did Byron,Jack London got killed by the mistakes of the medical men who treated him.
2.As was Byron,Jack London was slowly killed by the mistakes of the medical men who treated him.

Thank you

Thank you
Byron did nothing in his killing, so we cannot use "did" here, also "was" is later used in the sentence so we cannot make double use of it.

Mote: I am no longer a Verbal Learner and never have been any Expert in it but still A is my answer and wait for an expert advice for your this query. Thanks for the PM.

It has to be A. Other choices have helping 'did' not parallel with helping verb 'was'

I think 'similar to' and 'like' are not different much in this case, but 'like' is used wider and simpler. We prefer simplest and best thing :D
