Explanation:

These sentences are about using comparative phrases in Spanish. The task is to fill in the blanks with the given comparative expressions. For each sentence, we use the provided phrase in parentheses as the comparative structure.

1. For "Mis tíos son ____ (older than) mi tía", we use "mayores que" (the Spanish equivalent of "older than" for people; "mayor" is the comparative of "viejo" in the context of age for people, and "que" is "than"). Wait, actually, the direct translation of "older than" here (for people) is "mayores que", but if we are using the given English phrase to translate, we need to use the correct Spanish comparative. Wait, no, the problem is likely to use the Spanish comparative phrases corresponding to the English ones. Wait, maybe the task is to write the Spanish comparative phrases. Let's correct:

1. "older than" in Spanish for people (when comparing age) is "mayores que" (since "tíos" are plural, "mayor" becomes "mayores").
2. "better than" is "mejor que".
3. "worse than" is "peor que".

Wait, but maybe the problem is to just copy the given English phrases? No, that doesn't make sense. Wait, the original sentences are in Spanish, and the phrases in parentheses are in English, so we need to translate those English comparative phrases into Spanish and put them in the blanks.

So:

1. "older than" → "mayores que" (because "tíos" are plural, so "mayor" (singular) becomes "mayores" (plural)).
2. "better than" → "mejor que".
3. "worse than" → "peor que".

Let's verify:

• "Mis tíos son mayores que mi tía." (My uncles are older than my aunt.)
• "La música pop es mejor que la música rock." (Pop music is better than rock music.)
• "La ensalada es peor que el chocolate." (The salad is worse than the chocolate.)

Yes, that makes sense. So the answers are the Spanish comparative phrases corresponding to the English ones.

Answer:

• Mis tíos son mayores que mi tía.
• La música pop es mejor que la música rock.
• La ensalada es peor que el chocolate.
