Why is it wrong? (grammar question)
Doubtful industrialists started calling these self-appointed experts 'jacks of all trades and masters of none.' These experts are still with us, and as a result so does the phrase.
The exerpt above is used for a grammar correction question. 'does' underlined is wrong.
Q1) Is so is the pharase correct? (actually, I don't know why so ~ the phrase comes... can you explain it please?)
Q2) Does phrase mean 'jacks of all trades and masters of none?'

Thank you for the answer^^
He likes that car, so does he.
He is a student, so am I.
He is a nurse, so are you.
I've thought, the element between so and __ is determined by '__.' e.g. he does, I am and you are....
Whether or not the first part of the sentence(~~are), shouldn't the answer is and not are? (becau
