Default sc - like

The word Buddha denotes not just the historical figure, Gautama, it refers to a type of person, one who has achieved enlightenment, just like as the term "king" or "priest".

This is the correct statement given by the test simulator:

The word Buddha denotes not just the historical figure Gautama, but, like "king" or "priest", it refers to a type of person - in this case, one who has achieved enlightenment.

I say: how come it uses "like" if we have a subclause? Don't we need to use "as"?
thanks
