Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Explanation : The phrase aggressive then should be replaced with aggressive than to convey the intended meaning that some children display a higher level of aggression as compared to others. Than is used for comparison, and then is used to indicate the next event.

Hence, than is the appropriate conjunction to be used in this context.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Some children are much more aggressive than others."
