this is a trick Q
like is not a prepositiion
actually, like can indeed be a preposition, as in "His new car is like the old one." If you can substitute in another preposition and it still makes sense, then it's a preposition. "His new car is behind the old one." Anything being used to describe a relative comparison is usually a preposition, not just spacial comparisons.
