The money should be spent where it is more needed, like, the science laboratory having such old outdated equipment and the library needing more books, and the student center being so small.

請問老師，這種使用方法對嗎？這是like用來舉例并列了幾個獨立主格？

介詞like后接名詞性結構，舉例說明更需要錢的地方有什么。所將來面并列的三個結構都是被目前分詞短語修飾的名詞詞組，作介詞like的賓語。它們并非獨立主格結構作狀語。
