Tornadoes, spiraling around a central eye, are circular storms just as hurricanes are, yet being so much smaller and faster that their paths are unpredictable and those in their path have little time to get out of the way.
Eliminate
-- Tornadoes are similar to hurricanes because both are circular storms that spiral around a central eye.
-- but tornadoes are smaller and faster than hurricanes
• They logically refers to tornadoes. Tornadoes are similar to hurricanes in one way BUT different [from hurricanes] in another way. Hurricanes cannot be different from themselves.
KEEP
• Although is typically followed by a subject and verb. (Subordinate conjunctions such as although create subordinate clauses. Clauses require a subject and a verb.)
-- The absence of a subject and verb is probably a deal breaker in this case.
-- If it is clear that the phrase means "although they are," GMAC sometimes allows the construction—but in this case the implied word they makes things unclear.
-- Compare to (B). Not nearly as good as (B).
• Subordinate intro clauses need to be set off by a comma.
Eliminate
• AS hurricanes is confusing.
-- When it is followed only by a noun, the word AS is a preposition.
• When AS is a preposition it can mean
-- stage (of development): as a first-year associate I got baptized by fire;
-- equivalence She treats him as her uncle, though they are not related (him = her uncle); and
-- function (As the president of the Senate, the U.S. Vice President breaks tie votes in that chamber)
• AS can also be a conjunction. If AS is a conjunction, it can be used in comparisons, meaning in the same way that.
-- if AS is used in comparisons as a conjunction, it must be followed by a clause.
-- Well, we seem to have a comparison but we do not have a clause.
• This AS needs a subject and a verb to follow.
The AS errors are fatal
Eliminate
• When using "like" to say that one thing is similar to another, like must be followed by a noun or pronoun. (In other words, this part is correct.)
Eliminate
The answer is B
Quote:
• Being is not a working verb. This answer is a sentence fragment. "Yet" is a conjunction that joins two independent clauses. The second clause needs a working verb.
Eliminate
Quote:
• Just fine. Like means "similar to" or "resembling."
-- Tornadoes are similar to hurricanes because both are circular storms that spiral around a central eye.
-- but tornadoes are smaller and faster than hurricanes
• They logically refers to tornadoes. Tornadoes are similar to hurricanes in one way BUT different [from hurricanes] in another way. Hurricanes cannot be different from themselves.
KEEP
Quote:
• Fatal error: although and yet are redundant. Logically, the two words create two contrasts.
• Although is typically followed by a subject and verb. (Subordinate conjunctions such as although create subordinate clauses. Clauses require a subject and a verb.)
-- The absence of a subject and verb is probably a deal breaker in this case.
-- If it is clear that the phrase means "although they are," GMAC sometimes allows the construction—but in this case the implied word they makes things unclear.

Quote:
• Not logically possible. "The but clause" = one of them must be smaller than the other is. Which one is smaller? Logically, probably tornadoes, which is the noun being described. Better not to guess. Compare to (B). Option B is far better.
• When using "like" to say that one thing is similar to another, like must be followed by a noun or pronoun. (In other words, this part is correct.)
