Explanation
Explanation:"As she said" is the expression used to refer to someone's words.This sentence is incorrect because "just like" is an informal phrase and not appropriate in this context. Also, the sentence requires the use of the past tense as the event being described occurred in the past.The sentence is incorrect because "as like" is an incorrect usage. "As" or "like" can be used, but not together.The sentence is incorrect because it contains redundancy. "Had she said" is unnecessary as the tense and structure of the sentence already indicate that the event being described occurred in the past.
