Dentists regard pulling a tooth ........... a last resort in dental care. Is the answer "as" or like"? What is the difference between them? |

definitely "as" but shouldn �t it be "the" last resort, not "a"? Sophia

Sophia, I thought of that, too, but there might be more than one "last resort" option, so "as a last resort" is definitely possible. Bruce |
