I think “Yeah, I think he can pass it easily” is more natural than B and C.

Thanks a lot.
Do you mean that B and C are wrong English as a response to A?

@leopard10 Yes, B) is incorrect and C) implies that you are comparing his grade to someone else’s. C would make sense if the question was “Do you think he can pass the entrance exam like (person)?” Then, you could reply “Yeah, I think he will pass the exam just as easily as (person).”

In your sentence, is this part "as person" optional?

@leopard10 Yes! If the question was “Do you think he can pass the entrance exam like (person)?” Then C would be a correct response too. I would also like to add that you could say “Yeah, I think he will easily pass it.” If the question was “Do you think that he can pass the exam?”

@leopard10 It’s a bit unnatural, but it works too. C would be a lot more natural in that case though.

Thanks a lot.

But is C at least correct as a response to A?
It seems like only B doesn't work at all as a response to A.

I'm very sorry for asking on and on, but this is the last one.

@leopard10 It’s okay!! I’m glad to help. C is a little unnatural as a response to A. C is comparing two things because of the words “just as”. The person will still understand what you’re trying to say, but “Yeah, I think he can pass the exam easily.” or “Yeah, I think he can easily pass.” sound more natural than C. So, yes, C is an incorrect response to A.
