Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: like


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: In the sentence, like would function as a preposition, introducing examples of diseases associated with air pollution. The word "like" is used to indicate similarity or example. The sentence conveys that air pollution is linked to various diseases, and it provides specific examples (stroke and cancer) using the preposition "like".

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "Air pollution has been linked to many diseases like stroke and cancer."
