How do we figure that the noun phrase "melting ice cubes..." is compared to the clause "melting sea ice does.." and not just "melting sea ice"?
As per my understanding, "Like" allows for comparisions between nouns, be it noun phrase (noun + modifiers) or noun word.
If the B were "like melting ice cubes" (without the modifier), would the sentence becorrect?
Hi SlowTortoise,
Your understanding is correct. The problem with option B is that it is unidiomatic. It also gives us the wrongmeaning.

1. Just like...so is not expected to be correct on theGMAT.
2. We want to talk about ice cubes ingeneral , not specific ice cubes. Because it uses a restrictive modifier(that do notcause ), option B seems to be saying that there are specific types of ice cubes that don't cause
