much as=even though

In place of "As much as" the answer is given "Much as".

Why is it so?

Thakur Kunwar Singh said:   1 decade ago
"As much as" means "the same quantity as" i.e. you need two things to compare while using "as much as". Hence the sentence is wrong and much as is to be used.

As much as is used to compare 2 things but much as refers to even though. Hope you all are clear.
