[問題]劉振民 GMAT語法改錯精解- 題號E10-18

[Hyalite]

In its most recent approach, the comet Crommelin passed the Earth at about the same distance and in about the same position, some 25 degrees above the horizon, that Halley's comet will pass the next time it disappears.
(A) that Halley's comet will pass
(B) that Halley's comet is to be passing
(C) as Halley's comet
(D) as will Halley's comet
(E) as Halley's comet will do

答案是D
書上說A與E的pass 跟 do都是多餘的, D的as 作where 解.
以子句來講. pass跟do刪除, 原句的動詞是disappears嗎?
想請教各位該如何解釋本句?
謝謝~~

這題是考古Form37-Q22 也是大全385 (sec13-22)
(咖啡店連結還沒有,所以我試著回答一下)

我覺得LZM解釋as為關係副詞where有點奇怪

此題考點應是 the same that 或是the same as
1. 前後兩者相比較, 所以用the same as, (A)(B)排除
2. A the same as B, 需比較同類(形式對稱), 此外前後時態不同,
且為主動受(主謂賓)結構, 需補出動詞, 因此排除(C)
3. 助動詞will 代替will pass, pass和do都應省略, 因此排除(E)
4. 由舊到新, will提前, 得到(D)選項

還原後是...the comet Crommelin passed ...the same...,as Halley's comet will pass (at the distance and in the position) the next time (when) it appears

所以, as應為連接詞, will pass是此副詞子句的動詞, appears是修飾next time子句的動詞

如有錯誤,還請指正
