Nuclear fusion is the force that powers the sun, the stars,and hydrogen bombs, /merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart,as in nuclear reactors/

a,
b,merging the nuclei of atoms instead of splitting them apart,like nuclear reators
c,merging the nuclei of atoms rather than splitting them apart, as nuclear reators do

why "like" in B is wrong

why "like" in B is wrong
"Like" should be used comparing nouns. "As" should be used comparing actions. In this sentence, you are comparing the action of nuclear fusion to the action of what nuclear reactors do. By including "like" in choice B, you are changing the intent of the sentence and comparing the noun "nuclear reactors" to the action of nuclear fusion. C looks right to me.

NO, In B, "that powers......., instead of spliting like reactors " is right. I think

"I learn gmat like you" is a right sentence which is the same as this sentence

So, pls, explain, why B is wrong
