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.

How magnetic field is important in everyday life?
1. By shielding the planet from solar particles,
2. By providing the basis for navigation in everyday life.
3. By playing an important role in the origin of life millions of years ago. This can not be part of everyday life. It happened long ago.
