In addition to relieving stress and building strength, certain yoga poses instigate the onset of peristaltic pulses in the small intestine, just as peristaltic pumps do, and these have a purgative effect like a laxative's.

In addition to relieving stress and building strength, certain yoga poses instigate the onset of peristaltic pulses in the small intestine, just as peristaltic pumps do, and these have a purgative effect like a laxative's.



A
certain yoga poses instigate the onset of peristaltic pulses in the small intestine, just as peristaltic pumps do, and these have a purgative effect like a laxative's - Correct option
B
certain yoga poses instigate the onset of peristaltic action in the small intestine, like a peristaltic pump, and they have a purgative effect that is like a laxative - Usage of Like is incorrect. We are comparing how yoga poses instigate the onset of peristalic pulses with how peristalic pumps instigate the onset of peristalic pulses and not the Peristaltic pumps themselves. Eliminate




C
certain yoga poses and peristaltic pumps both instigate the onset of peristaltic action in the small intestine, and they have a purgative effect like a laxative - usage of ""both" is incorrect. When two nouns are connected with "and", a complex plural noun is formed. Hence usage of both is incorrect since there is only one item (our complex plural subject).


D
the onset of peristaltic action in the small intestine is instigated both by certain yoga poses and peristaltic pumps, and they have a purgative effect like a laxative's - We need to follow the modifying phrase "In addition to relieving stress and building strength" with what it modifies. Here that option is certain yoga poses. Eliminate D

E
the onset of peristaltic action in the small intestine is instigated by certain yoga poses, just as with peristaltic pumps, and these have a purgative effect like that of a laxative We need to follow the modifying phrase "In addition to relieving stress and building strength" with what it modifies. Here that option is certain yoga poses. Eliminate E.

IMO A.

Correct comparison. Modifier in addition to... modifies yoga poses, hence eliminate C,D,E
B has comparison issues.

[Gurpinder]

I would narrow down to (A), (B) and choose (B) actually!

Can you guys please shed some light on the comparison issue of like vs just as.

Thanks all,

Thanks all,

B is wrong because poses of yoga is compared to pump.
Like is used to compare noun/ noun phrases, whereas just as to compare clauses. But this isnt the issue tested here. As I pointed out above, it is comparison issue in B that makes it wrong.

How is the Usage of "These " correct in option A
