Proponents of artificial intelligence say they will be able to make computers that can understand English and other human languages, recognize objects, and reason as an expert does—computers that will be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan, or other purposes such as these.
(A) as an expert does—computers that will be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan, or other purposes such as these
(B) as an expert does, which may be used for purposes such as diagnosing equipment breakdowns or deciding whether to authorize a loan
(C) like an expert—computers that will be used for such purposes as diagnosing equipment breakdowns or deciding whether to authorize a loan
(D) like an expert, the use of which would be for purposes like the diagnosis of equipment breakdowns or the decision whether or not a loan should be authorized
(E) like an expert, to be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan or not, or the like


OA - C

why is 'like' used here, we are comparing actions, rt.
so, the correct usage should be 'as'

Can someone tell more about this

There is some thing about AI, Computers and humans.

There was just another Question I came across from paper test that used like against as when comparing computer's ability to think as humans do.

Ian/Stuart??

The sentence above contains a list .

1. can understand English and other human languages,
2. recognize objects,
3. and reason as an expert does

If u see the structure of the elements it is a verb and a noun.
But the third element is not parallel with others.

It should be changed to reflect the other elements.

and reason + a noun will make the third element parallel and "like" is used for noun comparisons

I hope that clarifies.
