The market for recycled commodities like aluminum and other metals remain strong despite economic changes in the recycling industry.
A. commodities like aluminum and other metals remain
B. commodities like those of aluminum and other metals are remaining
C. commodities such as aluminum and other metals remains
D. commodities, such as aluminum and other metals, remain
E. commodities, like the commodities of aluminum and other metals, remains
I choose C.
What threw me off isn't the question, but what is stated in the explanation in the OG. It states, "While there has been some dispute over the use of like to mean "for example," this is an acceptable use." (page 298 in OG Verbal) Really? Is this contradiction correct? I have always known that like means "similar to," and only such as can be used to mean "for example."
