From Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English 2:
Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given.
Chess is a much more skilful game than backgammon.
Playing chess requires . . . . . . . . . playing backgammon. (deal)
Would you accept, ‘Playing chess requires a great deal of skill in contrast to playing backgammon’?
The book suggests, ‘Playing chess requires a great deal more skill than playing backgammon.’
Does my sentence convey the same meaning in your opinion or is there a subtle difference?
Thank you in advance.
