Select the correct alternative to fill in the blank with the correct preposition in the following sentence.
The roses from India are more beautiful ______ comparison to the Italian ones.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The standard English idiom used when comparing two things is 'in comparison to' or 'in comparison with.'
While 'than' is used for direct comparisons (e.g., 'The roses from India are more beautiful than the Italian ones'), it cannot be followed by the word 'comparison.'
Therefore, the most appropriate word that fits in the blank is ‘in’.
