Which interpretation is more accurate?
How does A differ from B?
A) In what ways are A and B different?
B) How much are A and B different? This is incorrect. Say
eg How are A and B different?
eg Is there a big diffeence beteween A and B?
But the most common wording is
eg What's the difference between A and B?
A)
I'd say "different" is the adjective for "differ" in much the same way as "abhorrent" is for "abhor" or "salient" is for "sally".
