Here are three grammar questions I saw in my textbook, but I couldn't figure out why the answer is like that.
1.

Answer:(3)

Both 1) and 3) are wrong, and I'm absolutely certain about this. (provided you understood the questions correctly)
The correct answers are:
1: 4
2: 2
3: 1
1)
The noun with "거든" attached cannot act as the subject in the following part.
2)
The ~고서 conjunction doesn't "share" the object. (동화책 in this case)
동화책을 사고서 집에 갈 거예요. I'm going to buy a fairy tale book and then go home.
The sentence above is ok because both parts don't share the object.
3)
~만큼 means "as much as", and it's not compatible with duration.
However, if you are looking for the equivalent one, the correct answer is 3.
