this sentence should be like, because you dont know what the other part of the sentence would be.

Matthew, in this context, what is the difference between "as" and "like"?

Here the correct answer is clearly "as" because it is typically followed by a subject+verb construction whereas "like" can be used when there's no verb. Ex: He won't succeed like his sister
