A student writes: 'My new neighborhood is not as noisy than my old neighborhood.' What is wrong with this sentence, and how should it be corrected?
A
The word 'noisy' should be 'noisier'; the correct sentence uses a comparative adjective without 'as.'
B
The word 'noisy' should be 'more noisy'; adjectives in 'as...as' structures always need 'more' before them.
C
The phrase 'not as' should be replaced with 'less' and 'than' should be changed to 'as'; the correct sentence is 'less noisy as my old neighborhood.'
D
The word 'than' should be 'as'; the correct structure for this comparison is 'not as noisy as.'
