(Question Sentence)
Some people behave rudely. Little children often behave rudely.
->
Some people behave rudely, ( ) ( ) little children often do.


I know the answer, but I like to know whether native speaker can solve it.

Hi!

I guess the answer they want is: some people behave rudely whereas little children often do[/b]

The correct answer is:

Some people behave rudely, ( the ) ( way ) little children often do.


I don't quite understand from where the correct answer come.
That's why I post this.


What do you think?

Unfortunately the correct answer does not follow the model given in the example.

There they used an adverbial conjunction (where) so they should do the same in the problem This means that the correct answer should be 'as'.

Thank you for your opinion, Harzer.
