Researchers are using computer images to help surgeons plan difficult

Dear Friends,

Here is a detailed explanation to this question-



Choice A: This answer choice maintains parallelism, conveys the intended meaning of the sentence, and correctly compares the clause "will work for doctors and nurses" to the clause "flight simulators do for pilots" through the phrase "in the same way that". Thus, this answer choice is correct.

Choice B: This answer choice changes the meaning of the sentence by using the verb "develop" to refer to "programs"; this causes the verb to parallel "plan", and this, in turn, implies that the "surgeons" rather than the "researchers" develop the "programs". This answer choice also leads to the use of the phrase "as with flight simulators do", in the resulting sentence, that is clearly ungrammatical and illogical. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.

Choice C: This answer choice uses "like" to compare clauses. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.

Choice D: This answer choice suffers from a parallelism error; the verbs "in developing" and "to help" are not parallel. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.

Choice E: This answer choice repeats the parallelism error found in Option D and uses "like" to compare clauses. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.

Hence, A is the best answer choice.
