AYou stay put unless i call for you.

BI will refuse his demands because they are outrageous.

CAs the man said, what comes around goes around.

DHe acts like he's going to cry.

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is D, that is one sentence which has the incorrect use of a subordinating conjunction 'like'. The sentence should say: He acts as if he were going to cry. Because 'like' cannot be used with sentences, but only with phrases, and it is highly colloquial.
