Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

Hitler believed that the Nordic Aryan race was superior ______ all other races.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. to.

  • Prepositions and the comparative adjectives 'inferior', 'superior', 'senior', 'junior'. The comparative adjectives inferior, superior, senior, junior, anterior and posterior are followed by 'to' instead of 'than'.
  • Ex: They were both becoming accustomed to their superior strength and heightened senses.
  • Neither superlative nor positive degree of "inferior, superior, senior, junior, anterior and posterior" possible, they are only used as comparative degree and with preposition 'to' only.

Therefore, 'to' is the most apt. option to be used here.
