This is a true statement. Polly writes: "I will explain to everyone the further benefits of the SSSS3000".
This is a true statement. Polly writes: "Please be sure to show up next Tuesday afternoon, following lunch, at 2:15 in the boardroom".
This is the only choice which is not true. Polly writes: "It is guaranteed to prevent crime (as long as it's used in combination with several other methods)". This means that the security system is effective only when used with other security methods. In this context, the expression "as long as" has the same meaning as "provided that". For example: 'you can leave early, as long as you finish all your work.
This is a true statement. Polly writes: "The Super Safe Security System 3000 is the most high-tech and affordable system on the market", which suggests that it is reasonably priced.

Which of the following terms could replace the phrase "as long as" and express the same meaning?

Which of the following terms could replace the phrase "as long as" and express the same meaning?
Which of the following terms could replace the phrase "as long as" and express the same meaning?
This is correct. The phrase "as long as" expresses the same sense as the term "since" or "while" in this context. It is both an expression of timing, but also of reason. Bruno is suggesting that "because" Kevin is removing junk from around the office, he might as well help Horatio clear out his office, or that "while Kevin is removing things, he could help Horatio".
"As long as" cannot be replaced by "before" in this construction. "As long as" does not indicate a specific time, but rather it expresses the same idea as "while", or "since".
"As long as" cannot be replaced by "after" in this construction. "As long as" does not indicate a specific time, but rather it expresses the same idea as "while", or "since".
"Until" indicates the period of time "leading up to" or "just before" another action or event. It cannot replace the phrase "as long as" in this construction.
