Like vs As

by mharv » Mon Apr 20, 2009 2:20 am
The rule is

:arrow: Like - used to compare two nouns
:arrow: As - used to compare two clauses.

so the answer can be A or C.

C is changing the meaning/scope of the sentence to one student.

A is the answer

Did anyone try this one out and what's your answer
Regards,
Arvind

The rule is

Like - used to compare two nouns
As - used to compare two clauses

Here, university library (noun) is compared to other libraries(noun).

Also, the correct idiom is: prohibit X from doing Y.

IMO as (B) meets both these conditions, it is the correct answer.

OA please?

Thanks,
Rohit.

It is correct that :
Like - used to compare two nouns
As - used to compare two clauses

However, the correct idiom is Prohibit X from doing Y.

Options:

A)Prohibits students to borrow: wrong idiom;also libraries are compared so as cannot be used.

B)Correct

C)Use of prohibit in place of prohibits.Use of as is wrong here.

D)Use of like is correct here however, use of idiom is not correct.

E) use of that is wrong also use of prohibit in place of prohibits is wrong.

One more vote for B since it has both these below

Like is used to compare similar things whereas "as" is used for comparisons that show equality.

Correct idiom : Prohibit X from doing Y

As I understand it,clauses need to have a verb and here the nouns are compared (library to libraries).
And as it was mentioned earlier, the idiom prohibit from needs to be used here.
So, I am also going with B

like is use to compare noun, but 2 nouns must be comparable logically

as is used to compare action but 2 actions must be comparable logically.

I have many question of "like" and "as"

pls explain why "like" in 104 question OG 11 is wrong.
