In assessing the design for a study on the causes of hepatitis B infection in institutional settings, a reviewer pointed out that to qualify as a valid scientific study, the control group would have to include the same proportion of foreign-born employees as the test group.

A)to include the same proportion of foreign-born employees as the test group
B)to include the same proportion of foreign-born employees as the test group does
C)to include the same proportion of foreign-born employees as the proportion in the test group
D)included the same proportion of foreign-born employees like the test group
E)to include the same proportion of foreign-born employees as were included in the test group

OA B

My question is sentence is given in the past tense so the test group does are not the same tense as the sentence given . I chose this option as there is no other best option. But does is ok with this sentence.?

'as' is used to compare actions. we need 'does' to convey the action.

Hey Ice-rush,

Be careful, this sentence isn't strictly about the usage of "as". You are allowed to use "as" without a verb:

He’s not as tall as his brother.

That is a correct sentence. You do not have to say: "He's not as tall as his brother is."

The real issue in this sentence is that we need a verb in order to allay confusion.

a) the control group would have to include the same proportion of foreign-born employees as the test group.

This could sound like the control needs to include 20% foreign-born employees and 20% test group members. See the problem? Here's another example of confusion:

I love Justin Bieber more than you.

Is it that I love Justin Bieber more than I love you, or is that I love Justin Bieber more than you do? We can't know, so that original sentence is wrong!

Now consider this sentence:

I have more money than Justin Bieber.

There's no confusion there, so that sentence is correct as is.

Hope that helps!
