Which sentence correctly uses ‘than’ rather than ‘then’ in a comparison?
AShe is taller than her sister.
BShe is taller, then her sister.
CShe is taller then her sister.
DShe is more taller then her sister.
Explanation
‘Than’ is used to introduce a comparison between two things, while ‘then’ refers to time or sequence, as in ‘first this, then that.’ Since this sentence compares two people’s heights, the comparative word ‘than’ is correct, and using ‘then’ instead would be a common spelling and usage confusion between two similarly spelled words.
