Nowhere else in the country is there such perfect silence ________ in these markets.(Unit9-7)

题目

Nowhere else in the country is there such perfect silence ________ in these markets.(Unit9-7)
为什么用as不用like?请分析一下语法.

答案

like只是单纯的表示比较,一般不是同类事物的比较.如：The ship looks like a high building.
而as可表示同类事物的比较,在此句中应该是将两处不同地点的同一状态“宁静”用来比较,可称是同类事物,故用as而非like.
