Along with the drop in producer prices announced yesterday, the strong retail sales figures released today seem like it is indicative that the economy, although growing slowly, is not nearing a recession.

(A) like it is indicative that
(B) as if to indicate
(C) to indicate that
(D) indicative of
(E) like an indication of

新东方的FLASH材料说是seem 从来不与like一起用，但是查了金山词典和有道词典，都有“seem like”这个短语。
那么这道题之所以选D是不是因为它最简洁，而不是其他选项语法错了？

这个选C吧，
GMAT里的确不能seem和like一起用，金山有道里有GMAC认为错的短语难道还少么。。。要记得这是最严密的英语语法。seem的用法是seem that，seem to do，seem直接加adj.的也有，但是没有seem adj. of sth这种用法，因为相比sth seem adj.它真的是太awkward了

哦，选C，不好意思看错了

没有看到seem like的用法，但是seem likely用法是有的：
白勇 P270 ：
It seems likely that a number of astronomical phenomena, such as the formation of planetray nebulas, are caused by the interaction of two stars orbiting each other.

待讨论~

ls的例子中likely做adj,正好符合seem的用法吧
