Unlike amateur clammers, who usually dig clams by hand during the summer, professional
clammers work year-round, using all-weather instruments such as the hydraulic dredge or a 20-foot-Iona implement known as a bull rake.
A. work year-round, using all-weather instruments such as the dredge or a 20-foot-long implement known as a bull rake
B. work year-round by using all-weather instruments like hydraulic dredges or 20-foot-long implements known as a bull rake
C. working year-round and using such all-weather instruments as a hydraulic dredge or a 20-foot-long implement known as a bull rake
D. working year-round use all-weather instruments like hydraulic dredges or 20-foot-long implements known as a bull rake
E. work year-round using all-weather instruments, for example, a dredge or 20-foot-long implements known as bull rakes

The point of the sentence is to compare amateur clammers with professional clammers and to describe the methods and provide examples of tools that distinguish the latter group.
A. Correct. This sentence correctly compares amateur clammers with professional clammers, describing the methods and instruments of professional clammers with a participial
phrase using . . . and correctly introduces examples of the clammers' tools with the phrase such as.
B. The preposition by is unnecessary, and the comparative word like does not clarify that dredges and bull rakes exemplify all-weather instruments. The plural implements disagrees with the singular term renaming it (bull rake).
C. There is no verb for professional clammers in the final clause, leaving the comparison between amateurs and professionals incomplete.
D. This version of the sentence combines the problems of B and C, failing to complete the comparison between amateur and professional clammers, and describing the plural implements with the singular term bull rake.
E. The phrase for example is awkward and indirect in this sentence, and the combination of singular and plural examples of all-weather instruments in the final phrase is awkward and confusing. There should also be a comma after year-round to set off the participial phrase.

b说like是comparative word，但是我在论坛搜索到了一位童鞋的帖子
请看：

看过曼哈顿语法的童鞋，里面提到一点就是在GMAT中like不可以表示列举。但是今天我在做GMAT OG verbal review语法题第65题时，解释里面有这样一句：while there has been some dispute over the use of like to mean"for example", this is an acceptable use!!!!

所以曼哈顿是错误的，like在GMAT中是可以表示列举滴！！！

所以like是可以用来列举的对吗？
