解析:
# T3 ^4 [3 b1 w7 ], o- f
$ K$ j9 f0 p. g$ q+ HChoice (D) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by replacing the preposition “Like” with the conjunction “as.” In this sentence, two clauses, “machinery was integral to the development of industrial capitalism” and “the rapid transfer of information is the force driving modern business” are being compared, so a conjunction is required to link them. A preposition cannot link clauses. The adverb “Just” here completes the correlative construction “Just as…. so….” and adds emphasis to the similarity between the two statements being compared. $ Y' k) n1 y& d+ a6 g
