77. Like any star of similar mass would do, once the Sun has exhausted the hydrogen in its store, it expands into a red giant, eventually ejecting its outer envelope of gases to become a white dwarf. A. Like any star of similar mass would do, once the Sun has exhausted the hydrogen in its store, it expands into a red giant, eventually ejecting B. Like any star of similar mass, once the hydrogen in the Sun’s core is exhausted, then it expands into a red giant and eventually ejects C. As in the case of any star of similar mass, once the hydrogen in the Sun’s core is exhausted, it will expand into a red giant, and eventually ejecting D. As any star of similar mass would, once the hydrogen in the Sun’s core is exhausted it will expand into a red giant and will eventually eject E. As would be the case with any star of similar mass, once the Sun exhausts the hydrogen in its core, it will expand into a red giant and eventually eject Why not d? Does it make sense to say "as in the case of any star of similar mass" ?

D. As any star of similar mass would, once the hydrogen in the Sun’s core is exhausted it will expand into a red giant and will eventually eject
E. As would be the case with any star of similar mass, once the Sun exhausts the hydrogen in its core, it will expand into a red giant and eventually eject
Why not d?
Does it make sense to say "as in the case of any star of similar mass" ? In choice D, "it" refers incorrectly to Sun's core. "it" should refer to "Sun". Choice E makes the subject "Sun" parallels with the pronoun "it". So, it's clear. If you feel "as in the case of any star of similar mass" looks weird, you should learn to adapt with this type of sentence. Hope that helps

In D it compares start to sun's core In E it compares start and sun so this is correct

I do not know how to use "as in the case..." and " as would be the case..."
pls, help explain the use of the two.
thank you very much
if I do not understand the use, I can not write a sentence using the phrase and can not be confident with SC.
