Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Then should be replaced with than to convey the intended meaning that the speaker's sister is smarter than the speaker. ''Then'' is an adverb used to indicate time while ''than'' is used as a comparative adjective to introduce a second member in a comparison. Moreover, "me" should be replaced with "I am" as the subject should be compared with the subjective pronoun.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: My younger sister is much smarter than I am .
