Well could someone explain how this question uses ''as '' correctly since as is used for verb phrases here
residents do not have same ethnic heritage as Northeasteners ..
''have'' is needed here. My answer is B

source??

also, if we analyze the sentence, C changes the meaning, since it shares and C implies they have heritage....

Guys this is a 1000SC quest. with ans as C but popular ans. seems to be B..

D and E are clearly out.

Toss is between A,B,C could somebody pls explain in detail?
The major confusion seems to be whether One shares a heritage/background as someone else, or one has the same background/heritage as someone else.

I think the main fight is in Between B and C.

dont u guys think C is wrong because of ambiguity as well:

I do not like tea as she.
this seem awkward to me.

Correct way,In my opinion will be:

I do not prefer tea as coffee.

Meaning: I do not prefer tea as coffee.

I do not prefer tea as she does.
or
I do not like tea as does she.

similarly in C:
because many residents of the Southeast do not have the same ethnic heritage as do Northeasterners

So I found "do" is missing here.

the sentence meant to say:
many residents do not have X as [they do not have] Northeasterners

B seems to be a good answer.

C might be right .. the idiom many ....as wont hold good here ?

I'm getting confused with about ethnice heritage - do not share or do not have...

(A) because many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage as "share X with" is correct idiom and not "share X as"
(B) because many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage with "share X with" is correct idiom which is used properly here but word "same" is unnecessary as it creates a sense of comparison "same X as Y" is correct idiom. Sentence should have been "share the ethnic heritage with"
(C) because many residents of the Southeast do not have the same ethnic heritage as Correct us of idiom "same X as Y"
(D) due to many residents of the Southeast not sharing the same ethnic heritage with Out as because of is better choice than "due to". As per OG 12 SC-prob.33 , when events occur in a sequence they should be presented in chronological order
(E) whereas many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage as whereas gives sense that the coming sentence goes against the underlined sentence .... "because of" is correct

I hope it is clear [/b]
