Pick out the sentence which has the same meaning as the following:
The last question was the most difficult question.

Question

Accepted Answer

Option 2 is the correct answer because it accurately captures the comparative nature of the original sentence. The original sentence, "The last question was the most difficult question," implies that among all the questions, the last one stood out as the most challenging. Option 2, "The last question was more difficult than any other question," directly reflects this comparison by stating that the last question surpassed all others in difficulty.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

1. **Option 1: "The questions were very difficult."**  
   This option suggests that all the questions were difficult, but it does not specify that the last question was the most difficult. It lacks the comparative element present in the original sentence.

2. **Option 3: "Some questions were very difficult."**  
   This option indicates that a subset of the questions was difficult, but it does not highlight the last question as being the most difficult. It fails to convey the specific emphasis on the last question's difficulty.

3. **Option 4: "Only the last question was very difficult."**  
   This option implies that the last question was the only difficult one, which contradicts the original sentence's implication that there were other difficult questions, but the last one was the most difficult among them.

In summary, Option 2 is the only choice that maintains the comparative aspect of the original sentence, clearly stating that the last question was more difficult than any other question, thus making it the correct answer.
