(A) plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses in the same way that flight simulators do
(B) plan difficult operations and develop programs to work for doctors and nurses the same way as with flight simulators
(C) to plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses like flight simulators
(D) plan difficult operations and in developing programs to work for doctors and nurses the same way as flight simulators
(E) to plan difficult operations and developing programs that will work for doctors and nurses like flight simulators do
Option C is wrong because the comparison is not correct.
"that will work for doctors and nurses" is being compared with "flight simulators ". How some thing will work is being compared with a noun i.e "flight simulators " . This is illogical and incorrect.
Also the correct idiom is
like x , y. X and Y are both nouns. Here "
that will work for doctors and nurses " is a noun clause and "flight simulators " is a noun. So "like" can not be used for comparison.
Is my understanding correct ?
VeritasKarishma GMATNinja mikemcgarry chetan2u egmatHi,
Option C is wrong for two reasons..
(I) Usage of LIKE..
what we have after LIKE is flight simulators do for pilots..
We cannot use like to compare an action, so AS is the better way to compare
(II) Parallelism.
to plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses..
to help surgeons
to plan difficult operations and
to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses.
So, to help surgeons
to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses IS illogical..
We are looking for parallelism
So, computer images
to help surgeons plan difficult operations and
to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses in the same way that flight simulators do for pilots IS the correct way.
