Researchers are using 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, letting medical personnel practice their techniques and test their reflexes before they ever see a patient.
(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
(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

Meaning :- Researchers are using computer images for 2 things
a. to help surgeons
b. to develop programs
Further these programs will work for doctors in the same way the flight simulators work for pilots.
Error Analysis :- No Error
POE :-
Option A :- Correct
Option B :- Changes the meaning of the sentence by stating that Surgeons plan difficult operations and develop programs for doctors. Also the comparison is incorrect
Option C :- The list is ambiguous, there can be 2 possible parallel lists, one :- the actual correct list, other :- surgeons to plan and to develop (same as option B). Also Like is used to compare nouns and for comparing clauses need an 'as', also need a verb after flight simulators
Option D :- The list plan and in developing is not parallel, also need a verb after flight simulators to have proper comparison
Option E :- Changes the intended meaning, this option states that Researchers are using images to do something and Researchers are developing programs. whereas the original option states that researchers are using images to do something and to develop something. Need 'as' for comparison not 'like'
IMO :- A

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.
