Hi everyone, I hope this message finds you well.
Can someone (preferably an expert) please explain the difference between the below examples?
1) He will be AS likely to fail the new test AS he is [“to fail” implied] the current one.
2) In no other historical sighting did Halley's Comet cause such a worldwide sensation AS [“it did” implied] in its return of 1910-1911.
In the second one, we are okay with just 1 "as", but in the first one we need 2 "as"...
Many thanks in advance!

I see two as in the first example and only one in the second example. Did you mix up the two or are you saying they’re wrong is written?

First sentence: As...as is used to show the comparison
Second sentence: Such...as is used to show the comparison
Both are correct.
