Question

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank:

No other book in the series captivated readers as _________________ as the final installment.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence compares how captivating the final book was relative to the others in the series.

2. The phrase "as much as" is the correct comparative structure used to express equality in degree or extent.

3. Option 1, "many," is incorrect because it is used with countable nouns and does not fit the phrase "as much as."

4. Option 2, "more," is typically used with "than" (e.g., "more than") and does not fit the "as ... as" structure here.

5. Option 3, "most," is a superlative and does not fit the comparative "as ... as" pattern.

6. Option 4, "much," correctly completes the phrase "as much as," indicating the degree to which the final installment captivated readers.

**Complete sentence:**

_No other book in the series captivated readers as much as the final installment._

**Answer:** much
