Yes, there is a mistake. The sentence reads: “I would as soon AS die…” The capitalized word should be deleted. The sentence then means the speaker would rather die than do something dishonest that would result in disgrace.

yep theres something wrong. it actually doesnt make sense. there are two meanings i can draw from this sentence: i would die sooner than disgracing myself, or i would have disgraced myself the moment i die. no idea what it really means

this is that your Dad being in California isn’t suitable sufficient to apply a ironic conjunction like yet to the different sentence. “I choose he replaced into right here so as that he ought to help me repaid my vehicle.”
