VERITAS PREP OFFICIAL SOLUTION:
This problem tests the proper idiomatic structure of a comparison. A few comparison structure rules are important to know:
-Comparisons using "as" should be paired with a second "as" (e.g. "as many as" or "as qualified as"). Do not pair "as" with "than" as choice A does.
-Comparisons using "more," less," or adjectives ending in -er ("taller," "faster," "stronger") should be paired with "than." Mixing these with "as," as in choice D, is incorrect.
-When you're using a comparative adjective (such as "more," "less," "taller," etc.), do not use the phrase "compared to" or "compared with" - this is redundant, as the adjective itself already shows that a comparison is being made! You can use "compared to" along with adjectives that do not already suggest a comparison.
CORRECT: He is short compared to LeBron James.
CORRECT: He is shorter than LeBron James.
INCORRECT: He is shorter compared to LeBron James.
Choices B and E commit these "compared to" errors, leaving choice C as the correct answer.
