Correct Answer: different and costlier


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : The comparison in the sentence should be parallel. The error is in the part "different and costlier". The adjective "different" is followed by "from" and "not than".

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "His cellphone is different from and costlier than mine."
