Select the grammatically correct sentence:
1. Your answers are better than Mr. Paper.
2. Your answers are better than Mr. Paper's.
3. Your answers are better than those of Mr. Paper.
4. Your answers are better than answered by Mr. Paper.
Answer: B
It is sentence 2.
The comparison is between two sets of answers, so the second term needs the possessive: better than Mr Paper's, meaning his answers. Comparing answers with a man, as sentence 1 does, is the classic false comparison.
