[OG18-SC 688] 有关举例子用such as不能用like，og出现了用like举例的

这句正确全句如下Especially in the early years, new entrepreneurs may need to find resourceful ways, like renting temporary office space or using answering services, to make their companies seem larger and more firmly established than they may actually be.
这里未画线部分的距离用了like，想问一下各位那such as和like在做题的时候究竟能不能作为判断对错的选项呀？

这种例子应该不少吧。尤其在CR 和 RC 里可以看到在SC算错误的句子划线部分出现的话，绝对错误

Another such instance is the difference between "like" and "such as": in GMAT Sentence Correction, such as is used to introduce examples, while "like" indicates only similarity and cannot be used for examples at all.  Let's take a look at the following sentences:

1) I enjoy playing sports such as football and baseball.

2) I enjoy playing sports like football and baseball.

In the first sentence, we know that football and baseball are specific examples of sports the author enjoys.  In the second sentence, however, all we can glean is that the author enjoys sports that are similar to football and baseball (rugby and cricket perhaps?).  Whether either sentence is correct depends on the context.  If football and baseball are meant as specific examples, sentence 2 is incorrect because "like" does not introduce examples.

This rule is becoming increasingly obsolete in modern American English, but it still must be followed in GMAT Sentence Correction problems.

In fact, these days this rule is so nitpicky that even the GMAT writers themselves sometimes abandon it in other GMAT question types!

For instance, Critical Reasoning Problem #59 from The Official Guide For GMAT Review (a book of past GMAT problems published be ETS) reads as follows:

Certain messenger molecules fight damage to the lungs from noxious air by telling the muscle cells encircling the lungs' airways to contract. This partially seals off the lungs. An asthma attack occurs when the messenger molecules are activated unnecessarily, in response to harmless things like pollen or household dust. (p513, The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 10 th Edition)

Take a closer look at that last phrase: "In response to harmless things LIKE pollen or household dust." This is unacceptable usage! Pollen and household dust are examples of things that activate an asthma attack. You should now be able to use the information above to perform your own sentence correction on this GMAT Critical Reasoning problem!

So what should one do in the presence of such glaring inconsistencies on the GMAT itself? Or, to put the question another way: How should one balance the rules of Standard Written English with accepted norms of spoken English? Can you ever trust your ear?

这个不是举例吧...而是“像...一样”

我们做语法时候的语法不少情况下只适用于我们选择选项的时候。在OG的题目中，未划线部分出现违背我们的“语法”原则是常有的，比如in turn在正确答案中只能是做插入语前后有逗号，而在未划线部分可以是不在前面加逗号。

In the seventh century B.C. the Roman alphabet was adapted from the Etruscan alphabet, which in turn had been adapted in the previous century from a western Greek alphabet, which itself had been adapted earlier in the same century from the Phoenician alphabet. 这句就是in turn在未划线句中前后没有逗号，而in turn在选项中，则一般当作插入语。
