Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Like" is used correctly in sentence C to indicate a comparison between the magazine model and Taylor Swift's appearance. In sentences A and B, "like" should be replaced with "as" to indicate a comparison. For example, sentence A should read, "Although text messaging is still popular, it appears as if Twitter is becoming a preferred social networking tool by many." In sentence B, "like" should be replaced with "that" to indicate the degree to which Griffin feels he should have studied. For example, "Griffin feels that he should have studied more thoroughly for the test."
