A . Like Byron
B . Like Byron's death
C . Just as Byron died
D . Similar to Byron
E . As did Byron
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.Onell wrote:guys ,pzazz12 wrote:Like Byron at Missolonghi, Jack London was slowly killed by the mistakes of the medical men who treated him.

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
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 thingturbo jet wrote:[spoiler]IMO: A [/spoiler]But what's wrong with Option D?
