Question

The pollution of Delhi is greater than ______ any other city in India.

• A. those of
• B. that of
• C. this of
• D. these of

Answer 1

Answer:

B. that of

• "That" is used for singular nouns and is appropriate for referring to the pollution of another singular entity (each other city individually). This is the correct choice.
  
  • Example: "The pollution of Delhi is greater than that of any other city in India." / ഡൽഹിയിലെ മലിനീകരണം ഇന്ത്യയിലെ മറ്റേതൊരു നഗരത്തേക്കാളും കൂടുതലാണ്.
• "Those" is used for plural nouns. 
• "This" is not used in comparisons of this kind and does not fit the context.
• "These" is used for plural nouns and does not fit when comparing the singular noun "pollution."
