As or than
Hi! I have a grammar exercise, and I don't know which one is correct of these:
a) Oxford is the same distance from London as Brighton.
b) Oxford is the same distance from London than Brighton.
I would say that it's a). But according to the answer key it's b). But I don't understand why and how it can be the correct answer? Can you give me an explanation?
Thank you in advance!
Choice a is correct. There are many bad English books and bad practice exams. Find a book from the USA or from Britain such as English Grammar in Use by Murphy. Paper copies are reasonably priced and a Google search will find a PDF. See Murphy unit 107 Comparison 3 (as ... as / than).

The answer is 'b'. "same" is always collocated with "as".

I think the answer sheet is wrong, cuz than is often used in comparisons! as means the same here!
