Answer 2

Sure! I'll answer your question and provide the requested phrases with "as...as" and "so...as" for each sentence.

1) This book about the UK is as heavy as that one. 2) These mountains are as old as those mountains in the USA. 3) Now he speaks English not as fluently as he did a year before. 4) The Volga is not as long as the Nile. 5) Literature is as interesting to me as History.

Here, we use the phrase "as...as" to compare the degree or quality of two things that are equal. In the first sentence, we compare the weight of two books. In the second sentence, we compare the age of two mountains. In the third sentence, we compare the fluency in English before and now. In the fourth sentence, we compare the length of the Volga and the Nile. In the fifth sentence, we compare the level of interest in Literature and History.

Additionally, we use the phrase "so...as" to express similarity or equality between two things. However, it is worth noting that "so...as" is less commonly used than "as...as" in modern English.
