Please help me know, what is the exact meaning of the following sentence and what could be the context where I would use it?
Not much of skyscraper by today’s standards, is it really?
Answer
If you were to add “a” to it
“Not much of a skyscraper by today’s standards, is it really?” then it would be a comparison between a tall building but not massively so.
It would be a skyscraper (tall building) but not Burj Khalifa tall.
You could use it by saying “Canary Wharf is a tall building but not much of a skyscraper by today’s standards, is it really?”
