Chapter 2: Problem 12

He walks to work, just ____________ I do.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The correct word to complete the sentence is 'as'. The sentence is 'He walks to work, just as I do.'

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Structure

In the sentence 'He walks to work, just ____________ I do', there is a verb 'do' after 'I'. Hence, it forms a clause (a group of words that includes a subject 'I' and a verb 'do')
02

Choose Between 'Like' and 'As'

The word 'like' is used before a noun or pronoun for comparisons but there is no verb involved. The word 'as' is used before a clause (a group of words that includes a subject and a verb). Given that our sentence does involve a verb 'do', we fill the blank with 'as'.
