Like any star of similar mass would do, once the Sun has exhausted the hydrogen in its core, it expands into a red giant, eventually ejecting its outer envelope of gases to become a white dwarf.

(A) Like any star of similar mass would do, once the Sun has exhausted the hydrogen in its core, it expands into a red giant, eventually ejecting
(B) Like any star of similar mass, once the hydrogen in the Sun's core is exhausted, then it expands into a red giant and eventually ejects
(C) As in the case of any star of similar mass, once the hydrogen in the Sun's core is exhausted, it will expand into a red giant, and eventually ejecting
(D) As any star of similar mass would, once the hydrogen in the Sun's core is exhausted it will expand into a red giant and will eventually eject
(E) As would be the case with any star of similar mass, once the Sun exhausts the hydrogen in its core, it will expand into a red giant and eventually eject

A and B are out with incorrect usage of like. C and D are out with incorrect antecedent referring to Sun, but only "Sun's core" is available.

So my answer would be E.
Yep.

E ?

Like cannot be used to compare clauses.

C, D and E remain.

C, D - it incorrectly refers to hydrogen.

I think it's E


(A) it expands into a red giant, eventually ejecting...... doesnt sound right.

(B) Like any star of similar mass is NOT hydrogen

(C) it will expand into a red giant, and eventually ejecting.......... doesnt sound right

(D) As any star of similar mass would, once the hydrogen in the Sun's core is exhausted it will expand into a red giant and will eventually eject..................... What is "it"? The star or the sun's core??

(E) sounds the best
