Ok this might sound like a very simple and easy question but I can't get a grasp of it.

Lets look at these sentences


"Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain ..."

--> Here we are comparing the land area so the comparison is wrong. But look at the following similar sentences:

"Aaron is as tall as Derek "
"Aaron is as tall as Derek is"
--> we are comparing the height of Aaron and Derek so shouldn't we use the second sentence instead of the first just like we did in the "Laos" sentence ?

I agree we should use the second sentence . But some time these things are implied and are often omitted as they become redundant .

Cant help much thats how the language is got to live with it :(
"Know thyself" and "Nothing in excess"

hmmm ok but which one is correct then ....

"Aaron is as tall as Derek "
"Aaron is as tall as Derek is"

playing it by the ear ...i think the first one is ...but is it ? ...and it is not from any SC books so hopefully one of the Instructors can pitch in and help us out ?

Yes that would be great if any instructors could chip in .

But dont go by the ear . Grammatically both

"Aaron is as tall as Derek "

AND

"Aaron is as tall as Derek is"


are correct . But as I said IS in the second sentence is redundant and "Aaron is as tall as Derek " wins since its concise .

In GMAT when you have two sentences that are grammatically correct choose the one that is more concise .
"Know thyself" and "Nothing in excess"
