1. The answer is that one because ¨Than¨ is a comparative in the first sentence, but in
the second one we use ¨as¨ which takes the same place.
2. It is comparative, because he used to speak French much better ¨Than¨.
3. The sentence tell us that there is not much difference, so there are similarities indeed.
4. Again, we found similarities about their opinions, so they have a lot in common when
talking about climate change.
5. This is a similarity and also here they already gave us the answer, because they say
¨absolutely identical¨, so they we use the expression ¨exactly the same¨.
6. Here we can notice a huge difference among the ideas of how to change the
company, so they have ¨very different ideas¨.
7. Comparative, because the speaker says that compared to the other holiday, his one
was ¨more luxurious than¨
8. Here they compare how teenagers feel before and nowadays, so we say that
¨teenagers are more stressed than they used to¨.
