10 = the same, because we are comparing with the text that is coming. The same detail to his surroundings as to his clothes. 11 =as this is a common comparator we use, in this type of sentence. "as" = adverb used in comparisons to refer to the extent or degree of something. It is what Natives instinctively use and are taught to use by repeated example and constant hearing from birth. So to a native born English speaker it is not as difficult to select this option as it is for second language learners.
