曼哈顿论坛上的解释
if you open a sentence with "like X, ..." then the following two things must be true:
1 * X is a noun (or something else that can function as a noun, such as a gerund, noun-type phrase, etc). in other words, X should not be a clause
2 * you INTEND a COMPARISON between X and the SUBJECT of the following sentence.

if these 2 things are not true, you can't use "like".

in choice (e), the second of these is not true, because the SUBJECT is not "hungary". the subject is "an overwhelming proportion of women". that's not a sensible comparison.
--

in particular, you can't use "like" with prepositional phrases. in that case, you have to use "as", as in the correct answer.
(hey, i did it in that sentence, too. and not even on purpose. sweeeeeeet)

继续提问，这道题问什么错了呢？是因为Which 不能指代人吗？

Manhattan关于这个有三个对比例句，说which 是可以的啊.
