The rule say that AS adds up the clauses and like does not. Like follow nouns. Why both the following sentence are correct then?

I will jump up like a clown.
I will jump up as a clown.

Like means similar to.

The first sentence means I will jump up similar to a clown.

As can be used in many ways

The second sentence indicates that the person might actually be a clown.

Please refer this discussions.

I will jump up like a clown. ( here there is a metaphorical comparison )
I will jump up as a clown. ( here there is a actual comparison)

But GMAT dont test this difference. According to GMAT, the second sentence should be :
I will jump up as a clown does.


I hope this helps.
