<p>"As sounds better than “like” tbh.</p>
<p>Never has something taken so many roles… ____ the Internet does today. I thought if it’s “something” it must be “something…like” or “something as… as…” So I chose “like”, “as” sounded wrong.</p>
<p>I could see either of them being the answer…so fail collegeboard for making such a bs question.</p>
<p>The proper way to differentiate between like and as is to use like when no verb follows (2). For example, Squiggly throws like a raccoon or It acted just like my computer. Notice that when I use like, the words that come after are generally simple. A raccoon and my computer are the objects of the preposition.</p>
<p>If the clause that comes next includes a verb, then you should use as. For example, Squiggly throws as if he were a raccoon or It acted just as I would expect my computer to behave. Notice that when I use as, the words that come after tend to be more complex.</p>
<p>You generally hear like used in everyday speech, so that helps me remember that like is the simpler wordor at least it is followed by simpler words. As sounds stuffier and is followed by a more complex clause that contains a verb.</p>
<p>got this from quickanddirtygrammar tips . com</p>
<p>^ What answer are you proposing exactly?..</p>
<p>I say “as”</p>
<p>Although I picked “like”, I have to admit the correct answer is “as”, 100%…</p>
<p>And why is that?</p>
<p>wait, so is the answer “like” or “as”. I chose as, but after thinking about it, it might be like.</p>
<p>Idk if I can post links but if you search:</p>
<p>“Never has a communications system played so many roles in our lives—or exerted such broad influence over our thoughts—as the Internet does today.”</p>
<p>quite a few results come up.</p>
<p>I think it’s as.</p>
<p>Wow the sentence was taken directly from some article?.. Guess it’s as…</p>
<p>Like is a preposition. It should be followed by an object to make a prepositional phrase. As is a conjunction. It should be followed by a clause containing a subject and a verb.
Incorrect: She chews like a cow does. (Like is followed by a clause.) Correct: She chews like a cow.
Correct: She chews as a cow does.</p>
<p>Hmm…seems like I got most of the mc right but I bombed the essay w/ like an 8…</p>

Thank you for your clear explanation!
Though I guessed this question, I now clearly understand “what is what!” :)</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question about… … eh…
forgot x_x haha</p>
<p>Good find kamzarro lol its almost word for word.</p>
<p>“the internet does today” sounds weird, but it has a subject and verb and therefore can stand on its own. “as” is the right answer.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the IE with odors? Was it ‘it’ or no error?</p>
<p>For the drawing one, I put A. This is my reasoning:</p>
<p>This is the question as I remember it.</p>
<p>"Drawing from the stories the Indian tribe had told him, Joe Schmoe has written many stories for kids and adults.</p>
<p>Notice that the other two verbs are in the perfect tense, so the 1st must also match (ie Having drawn from/upon). If you wanted to say something like (Drawing from the stories, he wrote stuff) that would be fine because he drew and wrote at the same time. Now, the actions are all over, and drawing means that the action is still occuring.</p>
<p>Just my two cents.</p>
<p>^I hope you’re right 
Although I feel like it probably is no error.</p>
<p>@Rusty It should have been ‘it’, because ‘it’ was referring to the dreams, so it should have been ‘them’.</p>
<p>anyone remember a question about an author who wrote with a pen name? it was sentence revision. something like:
Emily also wrote a series of novels using a pen name that became her most famous works vs. Using a pen name, emily also wrote a series of novels that became her most famous works.
Or was that in writing exp? (i had 2 writing, forgot which section this was in)
either way, i put the latter</p>
