Choose the part of the sentence that contains an error:
She is senior than me by five years.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer: senior than
Explanation
Certain Latin comparative adjectives ending in -ior (such as senior, junior, superior, inferior, prior) take the preposition to instead of the conjunction than.
In the given sentence, senior than must be replaced with senior to to be grammatically correct.
Correct Sentence: She is senior to me by five years.
Quick Tip: Always pair adjectives ending in -ior (senior, junior, prior, superior, inferior) with to, never with than.
