This bridge is ______ that one. A. four times as long of B. as four times as C. four times as long as D. long four times of

The correct answer is C. four times as long as. This follows the standard English structure for comparing quantities: [number] times as + adjective + as.

Let’s analyze the options:

A is incorrect because "as long of" is grammatically wrong; the correct preposition after "as long" in comparisons is "as", not "of".

B misplaces the number "four times" before "as", disrupting the comparison structure.

D uses an incorrect word order; "four times" should precede the adjective "long".

Native speakers instinctively use this structure for comparisons of scale: "This building is twice as tall as that one" or "Her salary is three times as high as mine". The pattern remains consistent regardless of the adjective or multiplier used.
