Question

• better than = ____________
• worse than = ____________
• older than = ____________
• younger than = ____________

Explanation:

This problem is about identifying the appropriate comparative structures (likely in the context of grammar or language, so the subfield of Linguistics under Arts is relevant). For "Better than", the structure is using the comparative form of "good" (i.e., "better") with "than" to compare two things in terms of quality. Similarly, "Worse than" is the comparative of "bad", "Older than" is the comparative of "old" (for people or things in terms of age), and "Younger than" is the comparative of "young".

Answer:

• Better than = (used to compare two things where one is of higher quality, standard, etc. than the other, e.g., "This book is better than that one.")
• Worse than = (used to compare two things where one is of lower quality, standard, etc. than the other, e.g., "His performance was worse than mine.")
• Older than = (used to compare the age of two people or things, e.g., "My father is older than my mother.")
• Younger than = (used to compare the age of two people or things, e.g., "My sister is younger than me.")
