Step-by-step 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.

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. 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.
