The correct answer is '3' i.e. higher than any other building .

Key Points

  • The given sentence mentions a comparison of the NYC building with all other buildings in the United States.
  • The phrase "higher than any other building" is correct because it indicates the NYC building is taller than all other buildings explicitly.
  • The option "high than every other building" is grammatically incorrect.
  • The phrase "as high as every other building" implies equality, which is not suitable if the building is being described as the tallest.
  • "No improvement" is incorrect because the original sentence is ambiguous and can be improved.

Correct sentence: The NYC building at New York City is higher than any other building in the United States of America.
