Dear Redkiddy c isn't correct because you can't use such + adjective we use: such + noun or such + adjective + noun eg. She's such a clever woman. Don't be such a fool.

I think the test makers wanted you to know that the expression to use when saying that two people or things are the same in some way is "just as", never "just such" or "just more", or any of those other possibilities.
Suppose your height and mine are the same. You are just as tall as I. I am just as tall as you.
just as means equally. "just su

No, Redkiddy. Joseph is not more intelligent than his sister.
With the opening words "I agree", we are supposed to imagine a conversation like this:
A -- I think Joseph is very clever; in fact, I think he is more clever than his sister Frances.
B -- I agree that Joseph is intelligent (clever), but his sister is just as (equally) clever. Neither is more
