Which is grammatically correct and natural out of each group?
1-a I�m as much afraid of snakes as you are.
1-b I�m afraid of snakes as much as you are.
1-c I�m as afraid of snakes as you are.

2-a We are as much alike as they are.
2-b We are alike as much as they are.
2-c We are as alike as they are.

They are all possible, but in order of preference I'd say 1C. 1A. and 1B.
in that order 2c. 2a. 2b. in that order.

both 1b and 2 b. are the least likely to be used in everyday speech.
