    A.

    as kind as

    B.

    No substitution

    C.

    the kindest as

    D.

    kinder as

    Correct option is A

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) as kind as.
    Explanation: The sentence is trying to compare Mr. Sharma’s kindness with that of his father. The correct comparative structure is "as + adjective + as" when showing equality. So, "as kind as" is grammatically correct.
    Correct sentence: Mr. Sharma is as kind as his father.
    Grammatical rule used:
    • When expressing equal comparison between two people/things, use “as + adjective + as”.
    Example: She is as tall as her brother.
    Information Booster:
    Avoid using just “as adjective” in comparisons without completing the structure.
