Nice job, guys - and as a strategic point, I knew exactly what this question was testing just based on the title of this thread without even clicking through to the question itself. If you see a word like "unlike" or "like" starting a sentence, there's an extremely high likelihood that you'll be asked to determine whether the noun that follows that modifier could logically be "like" or "unlike" that statement.
There's another thread close to this one today that asks about improving SC timing - noticing items like this is a huge step toward that. If you saw "unlike" as the first word and recognized that you'd need an item to match "the British Secret Service" (an organization/agency) in the answer choice, you should pick C within 15-20 seconds. Look for these clues!
