Correct Answer: than


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The word than is used in comparisons to indicate a difference between two things. In this context, the sentence compares the ease of online shopping to the act of shopping in a market, and than is the appropriate conjunction to express this comparison.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Like is used to show similarity.

  • Then is an adverb often used to indicate time or a sequence of events

  • The conjunction as is used for comparisons, but it is often used with adjectives to show similarity.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: Nowadays, online shopping is easier than shopping in a market.
