    Wow, the number of ‘that’ in the paragraph.

    So this use of “that” is as a pronoun, as to something previously mentioned. In this instance, the word refers to the previous sentence of “things you are supposed to be thinking about”, meaning something you are supposed to focus on.

    When you are asked how you would feel if someone stole your umbrella. You are supposed to think about all the emotions you would have if someone stole your umbrella.

    I.e. the object here is a collection of feelings, that includes more than just ‘just not liking it’ The object here is a collection of people emotions.

    As this is a set of instructions to someone, written in a quite a conversational style, the ‘as’ is explaining that you must include more than just “not liking it”, because “not liking it” is a general, generic feeling which can be expanded upon. In this instance, its an adverb meaning

    “adverb 1” 1 is the adverb. Is the adverb one? used in comparisons to refer to the extent or degree of something.

    Why this is so?
