Hi all,
I came across this question in SC GMAT Ultimate grammar book and I am not sure about the usage of "as though" in option B.
Q. Jimmy likes to play basketball as he were Michael Jordan, flying through the air and dunking the ball.
a. as he were MJ
b. as though he were MJ
c. like he were MJ
d. as though he was like MJ
e. as if he was like MJ
Eliminated A, D and E on the basis of sentence construction error+redundancy. The correct answer is B and I am not sure why. Can any one explain why though>like in this case and guide me on the usage of "as though" in GMAT. Thanks (:
