QUESTION #11594
Question 1
The two brothers are _____ in appearance, but not in personality.
Correct Answer Explanation
Alike is correct. It is a predicate adjective meaning “similar” and is used after a verb (e.g., “They are alike”). Like is used as a preposition before a noun (e.g., “He looks like his father”). Same requires the definite article “the” (e.g., “They look the same”) and cannot stand alone without it.
Correct Answer: C — alike.
