OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
In professional soccer, team managers are rewarded for every game they win, like players are.
A. team managers are rewarded for every game they win, like players are
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The like section should not include a conjugated verb. In this answer choice, however, the like section includes a conjugated verb (like players are).
In addition, the comma is redundant. If the section beginning with like (or unlike) appears after the other section, a comma is not used because the word like itself serves as an indication of the end of the first section and the beginning of the second one.
What helps us identify this question as a Comparative question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- Like, unlike, than, as
B. team managers are rewarded, like players are, for every game they win
