Q. His elder (1) / brother is (2) / more intelligent (3) / than him. (4) / No Error (5)- Published on 18 Jan 17a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. 5
ANSWER: 4
Replace 'him' with 'he'. In case of pronoun coming after 'than', it must be in the same case as that coming before 'than'.
For e.g. Nominative case - You are better than I.
Objective case - He respects you more than me.
The correct sentence should be: His elder brother is more intelligent than he.
