Artificial Intelligence SC

OG 2nd #95

[deleted because problem is from a banned source - see below]

I picked (b) because "as" compares verbs: a computer reason as an expert does. However, this is wrong.

OA is C and i keep getting confused with "like" and "as".

Another post, that never got answered from MGMAT Question Bank #2: sc-question-bank-t10518.html deals with "like vs as.

Please make this concept clearer for me. Thanks!

OG is a banned source; it is illegal to post OG questions anywhere on the web. If you are in one of our classes, please ask OG questions during office hours or before/after class..

As for your question about this problem, no one ever said that "as an expert does" is wrong. It is just as acceptable as "like an expert". As compares clauses, which B does. Like compares nouns, which C does. B is wrong for other reasons..

As for your other question, i answered it last week. You just need to be patient when waiting for us to answer your questions for free.. :)
