Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer: is far superior than
Explanation:
• Adjectives ending in -ior (such as superior, inferior, senior, junior, prior) take the preposition to instead of the conjunction than when making comparisons.
• Therefore, replace than with to to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Correct Sentence: The strategy adopted by the administration is far superior to the one implemented by the previous committee.
