Mar 15, 2017 at 13:28 comment added sdasd tont @Davo Thanks. I know that. But could you answer me the question that I have added? The "as" here looks like equal to "which" but what is the part of speech here?

Mar 15, 2017 at 13:10 comment added Davo Does it make more sense if you read it as: I have as much confidence in you as (I have confidence) in him? "As" preforms the same function in sentence two as it does in sentence one; it indicates an equivalent amount in both parts (I have as much X in condition one as I have X in condition two).
