So in order for "as" to work as comparison it needs to have a clause (noun + verb)
My question is can the ellipses be applied to both noun and verb in the comparison? Is the noun + verb ellipses can only be applied to preposition?
Ex – As the company did in the last quarter, the company exceeded its revenue goals this quarter
Correct
Ex – As in the last quarter, the company exceeded its revenue goals this quarter.
Correct. Here subject and verb are implied before preposition. It still makes sense
Are these examples correct? Can you guys provide similar examples (OG examples would be best) where both subject and verb are ommited in "as" comparison?
Another question: In GMAT problems it is common for verb to be ommited in "as" comparison BUT can the subject be ommited but the verb is present to make correct comparison in "AS"?
Ex - As exceeded in the last quarter, the company exceeded its revenue goals this quarter.
Here subject is not mentioned. Is this correct ellipses to make "as" clause.
Thank you

While there does not seem to be anything explicitly wrong with the above sentence, the comparison statement would perhaps be better suited towards the end (not that GMAT is going to give you these two versions though).
The company exceeded its revenue goals this quarter, as it did in the last quarter.
The closest official example that comes to mind is:
According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults, as it was of earlier generations.

Have not come across any officially correct sentence using a prepositional phrase after as. Would be interested in seeing if someone else has.
