Lesson: Sentence Correction Challenging - 16t01

Idioms In Test Questions, continued

[Page 16 of 26]
Try another one. Answer the following sentence correction question, paying special attention to any idioms involved. When you're done, click Continue.

It took me four times as long to write the report collaboratively as it would have taken me to write it by myself.

as it would have taken me to write it by myself
than it would have taken me to write it by myself
because it would have taken me to write it by myself
than writing it by myself would have done
as it took me to write it by myself

"As" goes with "as" (remember our idiom word pair examples?). Is it correct to say that the project took "as long….as"? Yes. Keep Choice (1) and eliminate Choices (2), (3), and (4).
Look at the verbs. Do you prefer "as it would have taken" or "as it took"? Choice (5) doesn't make much sense; it implies that the report was written twice. Eliminate.
Choice (1) remains.
You already read Choice (1) in when you read the question stem, so there's no need to read it again.
