The OA is C. Can someone please explain why you would choose "as" rather than "like"?

How can you tell which one to use?

a little correction...

"such as" is used for giving examples.
"like" is used to compare nouns.
"as" is used to compare actions.

Not always, vivek.

How about this:

A lot of older people, like my grandparents, for example, are enjoying their retirement by traveling all over the world.

This sentence is from this link:

https://www.longman.com/ae/azar/grammar_ ... /00034.htm

There may be cases when we can use "such as" and "like" interchangeably. BUT THIS MAY NOT BE TRUE IN GMAT. I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THAT.

Thanks Paramender,

This is interesting :) but as you said probably not true on GMAT grounds, I haven't come across any such SC. In OG, it's clearly given in some of the SCs.

But this is definitely interesting to learn & keep an eye! :zoom
