SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 167

SSC Stenographer - 06 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q167

Find the incorrect part of the sentence:
She is junior than me.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

In English, certain comparative adjectives derived from Latin—such as junior, senior, superior, inferior, prior, and prefer—are followed by the preposition "to" instead of "than."

While most comparative adjectives use "than" (e.g., taller than, faster than), these specific "ior" ending words always require "to."

Correct Sentence: The grammatically correct version is: "She is junior to me."
