Are the sentence all correct? In these sentences, is 'like' a conjunction?

Answer 1

Since "like" is followed by a clause in every sentence, it needs to be replaced with "as if." if "like" were followed by a phrase or a word, then it's fine.

In casual English, "like" is used more and more as a conjunction, but in my ears it sounds awful!
