More than 30 years ago Dr. Barbara McCLinton, the nobel prize winner, reported that genes can "jump",
as perals moving mysteriously from one necklace to another
(b) like pearls moving mysteriously from one necklace to another
(c) as pearls do that move mysteriously from one necklace to other
(d) like pearls do that move mysteriously from one necklace to other
(e) as do pearls that move mysteriously from one necklace to some other one
My ans is (C) based on layman's concept of using "as" for phrase/clause , "like" for noun. However, Ans in OG is (B).
Any views please.
