For neutral atoms, the periodic trends in atomic size can be described like this

Atomic size decreases when going from left to right across a period,
Atomic size increases when going from top to bottom down a group.

Let's use these trends to try and figure out which atom would have the largest radius.

If you look at elements that are located in the same group, potassium will have a larger atomic radius when compared with sodium. Likewise, bromine will have a larger atomic radius when compared with chlorine.

Now focus on potassium and bromine. Since potassium is located at the start of period 3, and bromine at the end of the same period, potassium will have a larger atomic radius than bromine, and thus the largest atomic radius of the four given atoms.

To find the largest 4 digit number exactly divisible by 88,

We should divide the largest possible 4 digit number by 88, and if we get any remainder than subtract it from that largest number.

The largest possible 4 digit number is 9999

Now,

88) 9999 (113
      88
  _______
      119
        88
  _______
        319
        264
  _______
          55
  _______

Therefore, the largest 4 digit number exactly divisible by 88 is given by

9999 - 55 = 9944.

The error lies in part (1). 

As the phrase 'as much as' needs to be replaced with 'much as I'. This is because we use 'as much as' for comparing two qualities or things. But here in the given sentence a contrast is given in the latter part of the sentence. So we need a conjunction like 'even though' 'although' etc...

'Much as I' also serves the same purpose.
