Question

Fill in the blank with most appropriate word.
Dave drinks _____ a fish! I've never seen anyone drink as much.

• A. Likes
• B. As such
• C. Like
• D. As

Answer 1

The correct option is C Like

Option C is correct as the usage of ‘like’ would bring out the sense of similarity in the sentence. ‘Like’ as a preposition compares two objects on the parameter of same characteristics or qualities. Here, usage of 'like' is completing the meaning of the sentence by pointing to the similarity of Dave’s way of drinking with that of ‘fish.’ Option B and Option D cannot be used as they would render the sentence grammatically incorrect. Option A cannot be used as the sentence does not require a verb.
