1."as tall as"(a)
We use 'as + adjective + as' to say two things are equal: as tall as. The structure requires 'as' on both sides of the adjective.
2."as difficult as"(b)
We use 'not as + adjective + as' to say something is less than another: not as difficult as. This means the last test was harder.
3."as hot as"(a)
When two things are equal, we use 'as + adjective + as': as hot as. 'Hotter than' would mean they are different.
4."as fast as"(c)
'As fast as' compares two equal speeds. 'As...as' works with both adjectives and adverbs.
5."as expensive as"(a)
When two things cost the same, we use 'as expensive as' to show equality.
