The correct answer is option 1).
- The sentence uses the form As much as, which is incorrect because it states 'Comparison'.
- The sentence shows the condition, upon fulfillment of which the second sentence depends.
- This can be shown using conjunction phrases such as 'as long as', 'as far as' or 'as soon as'.
- 'Insofar as' also reflects the same meaning as intended by the phrases.
- Note: option 3 does not use the 'as' after the 'soon' to make it a sensible conjunction phrase.
- The only alternative that improves the sentence is 'Insofar as'.
Therefore, option 1.
