2 question from my side -
1. I know "Just Like" is not idiomatic, how about "Just as"? is it idiomatic?
2. Whats main difference between option A and B?
Thanks in Advance,
Cheesr! The main difference between A and B is meaning . Just as Vs As Just as means "at the very moment" Thus A reads as there was a precise moment at which Hans got closer and found it harder ... this doesnt make sense.. Hope it helps. Got it Sudhir. Thanks for explaining. Cheers!

Only "B" conveys the intended meaning.

just like is unidiomatic hence E removed just as changes the meaning hence A removed. What is the issue with C and D is it as long as and as soon as usage or is it the usage of the in creased upward. Please let me know

B)As he got closer to having all of his possessions packed, Hans found it harder to keep his apartment organized because of the increasing number of moving boxes stacked everywhere
Hans did not realize that the boxes were getting stacked everywhere but while he was packing did he realize about the problem with boxes.
Hence B is correct

Cheesr! The main difference between A and B is meaning . Just as Vs As Just as means "at the very moment" Thus A reads as there was a precise moment at which Hans got closer and found it harder ... this doesnt make sense.. Hope it helps. And shouldnt it be like "Just as.....So.... " and in the option A ..."so" is missing so that also makes A wrong ?? Please try answering
