1.Because of decreased availability and increased demand in scientific research, platinum remains expensive, like gold.
2.In Hungary, like in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of which are in middle management and light industry.
3.According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults, like that [goal] of earlier generations.
Consider frist sentence, here we are comparing the subject of the preceding clause (Platinum) with Gold. Similarly in the second sentence we are comparing the subject of Clause (In Hungary) with in much of Eastern Europe. Following the same pattern , third sentence compares the subject owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land with goal, and thus is incorrect . My question is if we can generalise this observation?
