Jamboree Question of the Day - Day 140, May 27th 2011

Trying to learn some of the basics of programming is the same as to tinker with a car when one is a teenager: some people end up going to engineering school, and others, twenty years later, remember nothing of the experience.

(A) the same as to tinker with a car when one is a teenager
(B) similar to a teenager tinkering with a car
(C) like tinkering with a car as a teenager
(D) the same as a teenager tinkering with a car
(E) like the teenager’s tinkering with a car

Solution:

'Trying' an action is to be compared to another action - 'to tinker'. Choice C uses 'like' to compare actions. Thus, A is the best answer.
