this is Q 122 OG 11 but I do not get full explain, pls, explain
More than 30 years ago, Dr. Barbara McClintock, the Nobel Prize winner, reported that genes can "jump", /as pearls moving mysteriously from one necklace to another./
b, like pearls moving mysteriously from one necklace to another
c, as pearls do that move mysteriously from one necklace to others
what is difference between "like...doing" and "as...do" here? Pls, explain |

Logitech is right. Pls post the full qtn
In between, here actions are compared...use "As"
If nouns were compared, you must use "like"
More info, search the forum and you will get gigs of info |

C is wrong because it uses "as" instead of "like"
Also correct Idiom is one another / each other
C uses incorrect idiom one...other.
refer to iamcste's post for difference between AS and LIKE.
Hope this helps.
