Correct Answer: run faster than


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Than should replace then , as than is a conjunction that is used to introduce a second element in the comparison, whereas "then" is an adverb that refers to a point in time.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Cheetahs run faster than lions.
