Hi Verbal experts - please share reasoning why option C is incorrect
Like is used for comparing nouns. but here we are comparing clauses. hence option C is eliminated

Hi, I do not understand why A is incorrect, can someone elaborate a little bit on this please ?
Thanks

Posted from my mobile device


look at the absurd progressive phrase : "...playing an important...millions of years ago".

Incorrect usage of "playing" with an event that completed in the past.
