Question: 1 / 400

Which sentence DOES NOT make a complete comparison?

A. I was so scared that I jumped up on the chair.

B. He had such a hard time at his job that he took some time off.

C. After she posted the blog, she had so many visitors.

The statement about having "so many visitors" after posting the blog is not making a complete comparison because it lacks a context to compare the number of visitors to something else. A complete comparison typically involves linking two or more elements to highlight differences or similarities, such as saying one situation is better, worse, or different than another. In this case, the sentence simply states the outcome of posting the blog without relating it to another scenario, such as the number of visitors being greater than a previous count or an expectation.

The other sentences establish comparisons through the implications of quantifying experiences. For instance, they allude to extreme circumstances or conditions (like being scared, having a hard time, or suffering from a bad headache) that suggest a comparison to what is normal or what is expected in similar situations. Thus, they provide a clearer context of comparative analysis, which makes the sentence about blog visitors the one that lacks a complete comparison.
