Some symbols are internationally common, __________ "Restrooms"or "Information Center."
(A)like (B)such as (C)for example (D)examples
I think 'for example' should be used. Am I right?
Many thanks.
"Such as" fits equally well.
(A) like
might be found in conversation, or very casual writing, inappropriate otherwise.
(B) such as
(C) for example
Equally appropriate
(D) examples
No.
"examples include"
"examples might include"
"Restrooms" are what Americans call "toilets" I believe.
"Centre" is the correct British English spelling.
Thanks, everybody, for your reply.
