Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence: This manuscript is more older than the one displayed in the archive.

1. much older than
2. older than
3. more old than
4. oldest than

Correct answer: older than

Solution

“Older” is already the comparative form of “old,” so adding “more” is incorrect. The correct phrase is “older than.”
