sentence 1: the cost of running the nuclear power plant is higher than for other power plant ---->correct
Sentence 1 is not correct.
Sentence 1 is similar to SC77 in the OG16, but it changes the OA in a substantive way by replacing
the same as with
higher than.
Here is the OA to SC77:
The cost of running nuclear power plants is about the same as for other types of power plants.
Here,
the same is a pronoun standing in for
the same cost of running.
The result is the following comparison:
The cost of running nuclear power plants is about the same [cost of running] as [is the cost of running] for other types of power plants.
Here, the usage of
the same as yields a clear comparison.
Sentence 1 attempts to replace
the same as with
higher than, as follows:
The cost of running nuclear power plants is higher than for other types of power plants.
Here, the portion in red does not convey a clear meaning.
Thus, sentence 1 not viable.
