Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The correct phrase should be "coffee to tea" instead of "coffee than tea". In this context, "to" should be used because it is the correct preposition to use, as "to" is used for preference between two choices. Using "than" in this context is grammatically incorrect. "Than" is used in comparisons to show a difference or contrast between two things.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "As I prefer coffee to tea, my friends always take the trouble to get me a cup of coffee."
