Concept/Grammar rules |
Application |
|
The phrase must be replaced with ‘as high as’ since ‘as high as’ is used to ‘to emphasize an amount/price’. |
Since there is a discussion of the rent of the house, ‘as high as’ will be used. The word "as" after "as high" represents a comparison of data with some other thing. Hence, the chosen option is correct. |
