E. Like everybody before you, you're going to die but thanks to modern medicine and health practices, you'll probably live much longer than your ancestors did. A: As cannot compare nouns (as only compares clauses and actions).
B. "your ancestors" is not parallel to or a correct comparison with " you'll probably live". we need "did" for the ancestors.
C. As problems as A.
D. ancestors lived in the past. so "do" doesnt do it!! :DE. Correct

E. Like everybody before you, you're going to die but thanks to modern medicine and health practices, you'll probably live much longer than your ancestors did. We dont need to explore the as/like split in this case. First split can be did vs do. Since did is right . Options left : A,B,E A is incorrect because Quote: you'll probably live much longer as your ancestors did is incorrect B is incorrect because it means you will live longer than your ancestors..how is that even possible..lol
