标题: GWD31-4-34

The market for recycled commodities like aluminum and other metals remain strong despite economic changes in the recycling industry.

 

  1. commodities like aluminum and other metals remain
  2. commodities like those of aluminum and other metals are remaining
  3. commodities such as aluminum and other metals remains
  4. commodities, such as aluminum and other metals, remain
  5. commodities, like the commodities of aluminum and other metals, remains

参考答案是E,我选C,GMAT中的举例不是要用such as么,而且E表达有点繁~~~望指教~~~

我也不明白为什么C不对?

不过又想了一想,

C说的是aluminum and other metals

E说的是commodities of aluminum and other metals,

是否E所致的范围比较大-aluminum and other metals类的商品,而C所指的范围变小了-只限于aluminum and other metals 本身,所以是E?

First we must undertsand how "such as" is different from "like". To understand that, we have to get rid of how we are used to speaking everyday.  "like" draws an analogy but also at the same time an exclusion.  For example, "can you buy me some fruit LIKE apple?" , this means to buy me fruit that's NOT apple but LIKe apple.  It might sound very strange and against how we normally would use the word but technically that's how it works.  That being said, we should see why "like" should be used
