Q34:

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

commodities like aluminum and other metals remain
commodities like those of aluminum and other metals are
remaining
commodities such as aluminum and other metals remains
commodities, such as aluminum and other metals, remain
commodities, like the commodities of aluminum and other metals,
remains

I choose C, but the answer is E.
The reason I did not choose E is that I think it should be ...the commodities of aluminum and of other metals. Is E correct because the "of" can be omitted with understanding?
Furthermore, is C wrong because "such as" should be replaced by "like" when the examples are nouns?

Thanks for help!!

Rule: Like不能作举例用！至少考试里肯定错。

But then why E is correct?
I looked through the board, and still can't find an aswer.
May you please advise further?
Many thanks!!

不好意思，看错了，like是不能举例用，这里是作对比用的，就像。。。一样，对比就不能用such as了。
