請問大大們...
我老搞不清楚什麼時候用 like (我只知道後面必須是Noun)
什麼時候用 as (有時候可以是名詞 / 有時候又必須是S+V)
到底有沒有什麼好方法可以清楚分辨出來啊...

>"< 真是痛苦...

感謝解答~~

在 GMAT SC 的選項裡,意圖將 as 當關代用的好像都不對.
as VS like 參考:

不太了解為什麼說(E)those指代有問題耶
我覺得可以指代到extremities

但我後來看一看，but開啟了一個獨立子句
反倒是那個there變成不知道指哪個地方


另外有兩個地方有點疑問，請教大家
1. 不知道extremities和 extremes 這個部分是不是也不一樣?
2. 正確答案(A)because後面插入一個although副詞子句，變成插入句。所以
although可以當作插入句用，而不需要主句?一直以來，我的觀念是 although之後是一定要有一個完整子句當作主句，不然句子會不完整。
(A) because, although the climate in Europe is fairly humid, libraries there are not subjected to the extremes of temperature and humidity that

(D) (E) 結構不同,改變句意
extremity 抽象名詞(極端); extreme 抽象或具體名詞(極端的值).
(A) 把 although... 放在 because 後面加逗點,表示 although... 是 because 子句的一部份,而且只能修飾 libraries...
