Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Jane is the same age ________ Mary.

• A. like
• B. with
• C. as
• D. so

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

as

In this sentence we would be understanding the usage of positive degree of adjectives. the positive degree of adjectives are used when the adjective is in the same level nothing becomes more or less and sometime when there is not comparison at all. In this sentence, Jane and Mary are of the same age thus there is not difference or comparison this makes the adjective required to be positive degree. In those positive degree cases where two individuals or things are present but of the same level, "as" is used to determine the similarity.

Option C is correct.
