Solution

The electrons associated with the negatively charged atom of in its conjugate base are spread out over a greater volume, thereby causing it to be a more stable base.
The more stable the base, the stronger its conjugate acid.
$C H_{3} O C H_{3} S H$ is a stronger acid than $C H_{3} O H$ because sulfur is larger than oxygen.
