Factoring is, of course, different from and superior than bill discounting, from the point of view of a small company.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Factoring is, of course, different from and superior than 

  • "Superior to": is the correct prepositional phrase used with "superior." When indicating that one thing is better than another, "to" is the appropriate preposition.
  • "Superior than": This is incorrect because "than" is used after comparatives like "better" or "more," not after "superior."
  • The correct preposition to use after "superior" is "to," not "than," to form the proper comparison.. 
  • The sentence correctly maintains parallelism by using the phrases "different from" and "superior to" when comparing "factoring" with "bill discounting."
