Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
You are ________________ I am.

• A. the same age as
• B. the same age with
• C. the same age like
• D. same age as

Answer 1

The correct option is A the same age as

"Same" means that two or more things are exactly like one another. We can use same as an adjective before a noun or as a pronoun. Here, the context is referring to a comparison between the ages of two people. So, when we use "same as" to compare people, we must use it with the determiner ‘the’. Hence, the correct answer choice is "the same as" in option A.
“The same” is followed by “as” as a rule and not “with” or “like”. Thus, options B and C are incorrect.
When we use “same” to compare people, we must use it with the determiner ‘the, so option D is also incorrect.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
