The following sentence is extracted from National Uni Entrance Exam in Korea.
'This emotional and sensory appeal of soft cookies is apparently at least as strong as are the physical cravings that the product satisfies.'
If we analyze the sentence, it can consist of three major parts namely
Subject : 'This emotional and sensory appeal of soft cookies
Verb : is
and
Complement : apparently (at least) as strong as are the physical cravings that the product satisfies'
What I'm wondering about is why there is 'are' in the sentence.
????
Thx.
