Hi All,

I have a question regarding the OA i.e. C....can some one please help ?

[spoiler]OG clearly say that like should come adjacent to noun that it want to modify...so how can C be correct ?

Shouldn't C be like:
Because of decreased availability and increased demand in scientific research, platinum, like gold, remains expensive.

Instead of:
Because of decreased availability and increased demand in scientific research, platinum remains expensive, like gold.[/spoiler]


================================================
Because of less availability and greater demand for scientific research, platinum remains consistently expensive, like gold.

Answer Choices:

A. Because of less availability and greater demand for scientific research, platinum remains consistently expensive, like gold.
