HKD1710 can you provide OE
Thanks nitin

OE:
This question tests your ability to use the correct idiom to make a comparison between different stages of a person's life. The question compare Frank Whittle's habits "as a youth" (the correct idiomatic expression) to his habits as an adult. Choice (E) is correct: The expression is clear, concise, and idiomatically correct.

I did not know that "as" should be used to define stages of a person's life. tnx

As is used to represent the function or role of a person /item as if that role exist or was in past...it does not represent similarity, instead it represents real situation
