In the following question, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and click the option corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the 'No error' option. Just as a (A) /mother loves her child (B) / similarly Hailey loves her dolls (C) / No error (D) Correct Answer A

The error lies in part A of the sentence. Thus, option 1 is correct.

‘Like’ and ‘as’ are often confused and used interchangeably. ‘As’ is a conjunction and serves as a connecting word to connect two independent sentences, while ‘like’ is a preposition, that suggests likeness between two categories and is followed by a noun or pronoun.

For example: She behaves in such a manner like a child does.

In the context of the sentence, the word ‘like’ will fit better.

CORRECT SENTENCE:

Just like a mother loves her child, similarly Hailey loves her dolls.
