The paintings of Andy Warhol reflect the contemporary American culture,
much LIKE/AS Thomas Cole's do.

Can you use "like" and "as" interchangeably here?
"As" is more appropriate since what follows it
is a clause (...do) not a noun.

Can you give me the source of the question and send me a screen shot? I'd really like to see all the answer choices. (help@veritasprep.com)

Thanks,

I am afraid I can't recall where it was from,
but if you could let me know as to if
using "like" is okay here that would be appreciated, thank you!

"as" is preferred in this case due to the presence of the verb, "do".
