The question asks you to frame sentences by comparing two things, similar to the example given: 'A motorbike is faster than a bicycle. A bicycle is not so fast as a motorbike.' This involves using comparative adjectives and rephrasing to show the same comparison in reverse. Here is how you can do this for the given statements:
Iron is the harder metal than gold.
A revised sentence might be: "Gold is not so hard as iron."
A sofa is more comfortable than a bench.
You can say: "A bench is not so comfortable as a sofa."
Venus is brighter than Pluto.
A similar sentence can be: "Pluto is not so bright as Venus."
The red bag is bigger than the blue bag.
Another way to express this is: "The blue bag is not so big as the red bag."
Gold is costlier than silver.
You could write: "Silver is not so costly as gold."
When making comparisons, it's important to correctly use comparative adjectives like 'harder,' 'more comfortable,' 'brighter,' 'bigger,' and 'costlier' and their equivalents with 'not so...as'. This way of rephrasing sentences helps in understanding the hierarchy or relationship between the items being compared.
