Although we were sitting in the bleachers

by RobertS667 Sun Feb 26, 2017 3:45 am

Sentence Correction 6th Guide. Page 91

2)Although we were sitting in the bleachers, the baseball game was as exciting to us as to the people sitting behind home plate.

Comparison –Modifier AS X AS Y. Why needn’t the word exciting have to be repeated after the second as? The second phrase would not make sense with the root phrase without exciting: Although we were sitting in the bleachers, the baseball game was to people sitting behind home plat =>missing verb

Thank you :)
