Hi
I have a question about below SC sentence :
As with those of humans, the DNA of grape plants contains sites where certain unique sequences of nucleotides are repeated over and over.
A. As with those of humans, the DNA of grape plants contains sites where
B. As human DNA, the DNA of grape plants contain sites in which
C. As it is with human DNA, the DNA of grape plants, containing sites in which
D. Like human, the DNA of grape plants contain sites where
E. Like human DNA, the DNA of grape plants contains sites in which
I understand that this question tests Like Vs As and for all the reasons stated as-vs-like-correct-and-incorrect-usages-133950.html E is correct. However, I believe there is pronoun error in A. Those refer to the DNA. Is this true as well ?

Hi,
It's not only that.
A - As with those of humans do not refer to DNA - looks like humans have multiple DNA - wrong
B - DNA of grape plants contain - should be contains - wrong
C - As it is - there is no noun reference for it - wrong
D - Like human, the DNA... - compare human to DNA - wrong
E - winner

Hi there,
Yes, there is a pronoun issue in option A. "Those" is plural and can't refer to the singular noun "DNA".
