Re: Which one is correct? [#permalink]
MichaelS, great post! This clarifies a lot for me. And by the way, I was referencing to an Official Guide question. (indirectly)

Since I thought that verb was needed, I always got these type of questions wrong. Thank you so much!

Mayan civilization flourished at the same time as Greek civilization did.

(I just made up the names.)


this point of grammar is important. I know what you think because I used to think over this point many time.

I will give you a sugestion relevant to this point.

the pattern with "the same as" is comparision pattern, which contain elipsis. you can infer the correct way of expression using "the same as".

the correct pattern is
clause+the same as subject+do/did

this means the OA here is not perfect. I agree with you on this point

in og books, you will see that gmat play us on comparison with ellipsis many times. your thinking of this point will help you a lot. do not hurry to go to another question. think over this problem a gain, many times, and you will see the mastery of sc.
