Correct Answer: as strong possible.


Solution : The first option is correct.

The error lies in the phrase as strong possible. It should be corrected to as strong as possible to properly convey the intended meaning. The comparative as strong as possible indicates the desired level of strength for the central government.

Therefore, the correct answer will be: The Federalists wished to make the central government as strong as possible .
