19.Teratomas are unusual forms of cancer because they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone not normally found in the organ in which the tumor appears.
(A) because they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone
(B) because they are composed of tissues like tooth and bone that are
(C) because they are composed of tissues, like tooth and bone, tissues
(D) in that their composition, tissues such as tooth and bone, is
(E) in that they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone, tissues

Why the answer is (E) instead of (C) ?? I think the relationship between tissue in Teratomas and tissues in tooth and bone should be analog. it's not plausible to say tissues in Teratomas are made of tooth and bone...then why we still choose "such as" over "like" ??

Besides, I don't know either why we allow "tissue" repeat itself in the beginning of the 2nd clause, shouldn't it be erased??

同样对１９题疑惑．．

若选Ｅ～　那就是在列举（因为列举只可用such as）～但这样就是说tooth and bone　来构成Teratomas的？感觉很奇怪～　

期待解答！

like在这里起的作用是，和Teratomas比较，表示像。。。。。意思是：和牙齿一样，Teratomas是一种癌症。意思错误。

另like在GMAT中不能用于举例

我知道like和such as，我不大明白的是because为什么不行，为什么要用in that。谢谢！

according to what you said, then C should be "because they are composed of tissues, like those in tooth and bone, tissues", right?

do not think there is much difference between those two, except "in that" is more literary.
