- B)The hotel was slightly more comfortable than it looked online.
- C)The hotel was exactly as comfortable as the photos suggested.
- D)The hotel was far from the places shown in the photos.
- E)The hotel was much less comfortable than it looked in the photos.
Cevabı ve çözümü göster
Doğru cevap: E
"nowhere near as ... as" = hiç de ... kadar değil; otel fotoğraflarda göründüğünden çok daha az konforluydu. "nowhere near" kelimenin tam anlamıyla uzaklık bildirmez; bu yüzden "far from the places shown in the photos" bir tuzaktır.

Cevabı ve çözümü göster
