Choose the correct sentence from the following

  • A.George ran faster than me.
  • B.George ran faster than I.
  • C.George ran faster than mine.
  • D.George ran faster than myself.

Answer: B

The correct sentence is George ran faster than I.

In formal grammar than is treated as a conjunction introducing a shortened clause: George ran faster than I (ran). The pronoun is the subject of that understood verb, so it takes the subject form I.

Than me is common in everyday speech, but grammar tests of this kind expect the formal form. Mine is a possessive pronoun and makes no sense here, and the reflexive myself can only refer back to a subject in the same clause.
