SSC Stenographer - 08 Aug 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q148

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

Ramesh is senior _______ me in service.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Latin Adjectives: Certain adjectives ending in -ior (such as senior, junior, superior, inferior, prior, anterior, and posterior) are derived from Latin and are used for comparison.

Preposition Usage: Unlike Standard English comparatives that use "than" (e.g., "older than"), these specific Latin-origin adjectives always take the preposition to.

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is to.

The complete sentence is: "Ramesh is senior to me in service."
