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
OA : E
I am confused between A and E
My analysis:
A- that refers to goal. so the sentence seems to be correct
E - it refers to "owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land". so the sentence here also seems to be correct.
How do we choose between A and E.
P.S: I have read explanations (https://www.beatthegmat.com/freestanding ... 37875.html): "that" is used to indicate a "New Copy" or copies of the antecedent.
In this question, that refers to the goal, which is the same for this generation and the earlier. So we can reject (A) -> Doubt: How does that matter. We are just comparing two goals. It does not matter if it is same or different.
