Hi everyone,
This is a question from an English test that is completely unrelated to CP. I'm trying to figure out which option is the most reasonable here:
My son is expecting the holiday much ...
$$$A.$$$ more than we do
$$$B.$$$ more than we are
Which answer do you think is the correct one? Honestly, my English is quite poor, so I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you so much!
Do you deliberately want to get a negative contribution?
Hmm, I don't think so. I'm actually trying to figure out the correct answer to this question (as shown in the image below). I noticed a lot of people choosing 'more we do' while many others are picking 'more we are', so I wanted to ask the Codeforces community since I think you guys could help me out with this
If you think this is a trash post, Im really sorry. I know cf is a cp platform, but Im genuinely stuck on this grammar point and could really use some help from the sharp minds here
Thanks!
I think C.
much more than xxx is good, it's a comparison. much than xxx is grammarly incorrect.
and if choose C, it equals to "My son is expecting the holiday much more than we are expecting." Valid comparison.
If choose D, it's comparing "my son expecting holiday" to "we"; which is mismatched.
If choose B, "much as we do" isn't logically correct. If you use "as much as we are" it'll be correct.
Note: "much more than we do" is also incorrect.
