Please note that even though the examples I use are asked in a previous post, the questions I ask have not been asked in the forum
In the MGMAT SC guide, there are certain examples which I don't understand (non-native speaker). This is a request to get help in the selected examples. I understand the right vs wrong, but I wanted to know if other examples work
First doubt
wrong: I have never seen an aardvark, but last year my father did
right: I have never seen aardvark, but last year my father saw one
Can we also say I have never seen an aardvark, but my father has
I believe the meaning changes in the sense that we don't know when the (boy's) father saw an aardvark.
Second doubt
wrong: Our cars were designed to inspire envy, and they are
right: Our cars were designed to inspire envy, and they do
Can we also say Our cars were designed to inspire envy, and they did
The problem with the above sentence seems to be a missing time marker to show that the action of 'design' happened before the action of 'i spiring envy' (Am I wrong?)
Third doubt:
right: Some people do not eat soup as others do
In this example as serves as a preposition. In such a case, is it OK to omit the verb without loss of meaning. Also, since this is not a metaphorical/circumstancial comparison, we cannot use like (Am I wrong?)

You could say "my father has". You also correctly removed "last year" because the logical verb tense would be past simple and correct in that example. I don't think this kind of an example would be tested on the GMAT removing the whole "last year" component from the sentence. I feel that would be unlikely unless the others were clearly wrong. It would not be a good question.

I think that would be fine to say did or do. Either one would work despite lack of indication. I don't think this would be a mistake.

I don't know that I am comfortable dropping the verb. The example in itself may be a bit ambiguous - is it talking about How people eat soup the same way (with a spoon vs. with a cup vs. hand or fork
) or is it talking about some people not eating the soup in general/at all - meaning they don't eat soup. I don't like this sentence and I am sorry, I can't help you with like. There is a whole list of rules for that I am not fresh one those
