i think.

这两题的不同用法问题不出在more...than...和as ...as...上,其实这两种表达方式都是没有错误的。

1. 首先根据逻辑意思判断到底是应该用more than 还是 as as。原句里用哪个,在没有逻辑冲突的情况下,优先使用哪个。

2. 42题中放弃了more than而选择as as应该是由于有more than的选项有语法错误。

我查了字典,likely的用法是,be likely to do/be sth。A选项中,be likely in doing应该是放弃的原因。B选项的比较对象不平行。所以只能放弃more than的用法而选择as as了。

open to discuss...
