Answer:
1. The photograph is not as big as the painting.
2. The film we saw last week is not as interesting as this one.
3. The journey was not as long as we thought it would be at first.
4. Tim is the same age as Hoa.
5. She speaks English as well as her sister does.
6. Giang can't paint as well as Khanh.
7. Her book is different from mine.
Explanation:
All of the sentences in the question are comparing things or people. Most of them are using the comparative of equality, the only exception being the last sentence.
<u>The comparison of equality relies on the words "as... as" to compare two things or people. Even though it is used to express sameness of level or characteristic, it can also indicate inequality if we use it in a negative sentence.</u> The examples below will illustrate it better:
- Joe is as tall as Lisa. --> Their heights are the same.
- James is not as talented as Martha. --> Their levels are different.

I would say :
A. A Mother takes her child to the park. She thinks about her high school sweetheart. Her child scraped his knee. The mother decides to quit her job.
Because: It makes no logical sense nor does it carry a fluid storyline like the rest of the answer choices.
1 is unclear, please take a better picture
2. x-18=-5, add 18 to both sides so x=13
3. square both sides and get x-8=-x+2, add x to both sides, get 2x-8=2, add 8 to both sides, get 2x=10, divide both sides by 10 and get x=5
4. use distance formula
√( (x-x`)^2 + (y-y`)^2 ) = d
√( (4+5)^2 + (x-8)^2 ) = √155
√ ( 81+x^(2)-16x+64 ) = √155
