Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Yesterday it was ____the day before yesterday.

• A. Colder the
• B. Colder than
• C. Colder them
• D. Colder

Answer 1

The correct option is B Colder than

Yesterday and the day before yesterday are the two days that are being compared. This makes it evident that the comparative degree is being used since two days are being compared. Usually when a sentence is written in comparative degree, "than" is used after the adjective for comparison which is missing in this sentence. The adjective here is "cold" whose comparative degree is "colder". The answer thus is "Colder than".

Option B.
