Hi Experts,
I am in big dilemma here. Ever since I have started preparing for gmat and done so much practise, everyone has told me that GMAT doesn't like the usage of "like" for example and "such as" should be used instead. Now Going through the veritas prep question banks and books I have come across 2 questions so far in which they have preferred the usage of "like" vs "such as". This is a confusing situation for me. Can someone explain me this.
I am posting a question here lets have some discussion on this and I will post the answer later.
Until 2010, a state tax regulation known as the “80-20 rule” required that condominium associations receive at least 80 percent of their gross income from their tenant-shareholders, and no more than 20 percent from other sources, like ground-floor rent for restaurants.
