Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No error'. Most super-Earths known to (1)/science are almost as close to (2)/their star like Mercury is to our sun (3)/.No error (4)
Answer: C
Part (3), 'their star like Mercury is to our sun', has the error. When a clause follows, as in 'Mercury is to our sun', the comparison needs the conjunction as, and the right form is 'as close to their star as Mercury is to our sun'. The word like is used with a noun or pronoun and not with a clause. Parts (1) and (2) are correct, and since there is an error, 'No error' is wrong. So the answer is part 3, option (C).
