Hi Ron, I would like to ask a question about the following sc question from PREP: [redacted] In manhattan SC review, there is a part where it says: If you want to compare 2 things that has a VERB within it, you should use AS. eg: As X passed the test, Y also passed the test OR Like X, Y also passed ...

Hi Ron, thanks again for your reply. Here's another example from another PREPQuestion (I am writing only part of the sentence that is correct) Dirt roads cost twice as much to maintain as paved roads do. - if we take out the DO after roads, does it make the sentence incorrect? Also, could you list a...

thank you Ron for your answers, I have understood the whole issue now. Just one question about the use of "figure" "the number" I understand that these words are use to represent things such as: % of .... , proportion of xxxx, etc... However, I don't understand when should we use...
