Correct Answer: as easy as


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

Explanation : Comparative structures are typically formed using "as [adjective] as" for equality or "less/more [adjective] than" for inequality. In this case, " as easy as" is the correct comparative structure to convey the intended meaning that the exam was not as easy as expected.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The exam was not as easy as we had expected."
