Where to use of "Than" .
Part-1
"THAN" is used in comparative degree ,But with words like SUPERIOR,INFERIOR,SENIOR,JUNIOR,PRIOR,ANTERIOR,PREFER etc ...."TO" is used.
Examples :-
I prefer reading than sleeping (wrong ) [reading to sleeping is correct].
Ravi is senior than others (Wrong) [senior to others is correct].
Part-2
Whenever comparison is made by using 'THAN",the word "OTHER" must be used to exclude the thing with which it is compared
Example:-He is stronger than any man (wrong) [stronger than any OTHER man].
Part-3
In some case comparison is subtle and must be given proper attention:
The climate of Ranchi is better THAN Gaya (wrong)
The climate of Ranchi is better THAN THAT of Gaya. (or better THAN climate of Gaya)

A. The pope becomes chief pastor because he is Bishop of Rome: he does not become Bishop of Rome because he has been chosen to be head of the universal Church.
B. Thus, an election to the papacy is, properly speaking, primarily an election to the local bishopric. The right to elect their bishop has ever belonged to the members of the Roman Church. They possess the prerogative of giving to the universal Church her chief pastor; they do not receive their bishop in virtue of his election by the universal Church.
C. The supreme headship of the Church is, we have seen, annexed to the office of Roman bishop.
D. The choice of a bishop belongs to the clergy: it may be confined to the leading members of the clergy. It is so in the Roman Church at present.
E. This is not to say that the election should be by popular vote of the Romans.
Choose one answer.

A.No intelligent designer would have put the genomes of living organisms together in the way that evolution has.
B. That is because, unlike an engineer, evolution cannot go back to the drawing board, it can merely play with what already exists.
C. And there is no sense of organization or hierarchy.
D. Some parts overlap, meaning that they cannot change jobs independently of one another.
E. Others have lost their function but have not been removed, so they simply clutter things up.

Word Interpretation: While the state's juggernaut finally rumbled to life and responded to nature's frothing revenge of its wanton destruction along the flood-plains of the Mandakini - a revenge that flattened the surreal township built around the ancient temple of Kedarnath - merely rescuing pilgrims and rural communities wedged along the craggy Himalayas must not occasion self congratulation. Juggernaut- is the author referring to trucks or the empire ? Not getting the meaning of frothing and wanton in this context. TOI article: http://tinyurl.com/llbteoo

Some body ping me...the links for good articles....
Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It endeavours to answer the question what is language and how it is represented in the mind? Linguists focus on describing and explaining language and are not concerned with the prescriptive rules of the language (i.e. do not split infinitives). Linguists are not required to know many languages and linguists are not interpreters. The underlying goal of the linguist is to try to discover the universals concerning language. That is, what are the common elements of all languages. ____________________

After the end of World War II, a pervasive, but unfortunately fallacious, economic perspective took hold. Based on the United States' successful emergence from the Depression, the idea that war was good for an economy became fashionable. However, linking the United States economic recovery with its entry into World War II is a prime example of flawed economic thinking.
Supporters of the war benefits economy theory hold that a country at war is a country with a booming economy. Industry must produce weapons, supplies, food, and clothing for the troops. The increased production necessitates the hiring of more people, reducing unemployment.
More employment means more money in the pockets of citizens, who are then likely to go out and spend that money, helping the retail sector of the economy. Retail shops experience an increase in business and may need to hire more workers, further reducing unemployment and adding to the economic momentum. While this scenario sounds good in theory, it does not accurately represent what truly happens in a war time economy.
In reality, the government can fund a war in a combination of three ways. It can raise taxes, cut spending on other areas, or increase the national debt. Each of these strategies has a negative impact on the economy. An increase in taxes takes money out of an individual's hands, leading to a reduction in consumer spending. Clearly, there is no net benefit to the economy in that case. Cutting spending in other areas has its costs as well, even if they are not as obvious.
Any reduction in government spending means the imposition of a greater burden on the benefactors of that government spending. Cutbacks in a particular program mean that the people who normally depend on that program now must spend more of their money to make up for the government cuts. This also takes money out of consumers' hands and leaves the economy depressed. Of course, a government could go into debt during the war, but such a strategy simply means that at some point in the future, taxes must be increased or spending decreased. Plus, the interest on the debt must be paid as well.
1 . The "pervasive €Śeconomic perspective" mentioned in line 1 took hold because
A. observers took the appearance of one phenomenon with another to indicate that one caused the other
B. the U.S. would not have emerged from the Depression had it not entered World War II
C. the booming economy during wartime created thousands of jobs in the U.S.
D. most people are not trained to think in economic terms
E. economists confused an event that was necessary for an outcome to occur with one that is merely sufficient to bring about that outcome.

2. Which of the following situations best mirrors the effect that cutting spending in government programs has, as detailed in the passage?
A. Government cutbacks on public works maintenance lead to a deterioration of roads, which creates more work for private construction firms.
B. A decrease in the federal education budget causes certain schools to close, which forces families to send their children to schools that are farther away.
C. A federal decrease in unemployment payments causes some individuals who would otherwise remain on unemployment to seek jobs.
D. Government cuts in housing subsidies results in fewer houses being built.
E. A reduction in the federal spending on food safety inspections leads to a rash of illnesses and an increase in the amount of money spent on medicine.
3. The passage implies which of the following about a government that funds a war by increasing the national debt?
A. It is no worse off than it would be funding a war by cutting spending or increasing taxes.
B. The initial costs it incurs are less than with the other two methods, but the future costs are greater.
C. It must increase taxes in order to pay off the interest on the debt.
D. If the government does not increase taxes or decrease spending, its economy will not recover.
E. It receives a net benefit to the economy greater than it would achieve with either of the other two methods.
ďťż
4. The second paragraph of the passage performs which of the following functions?
A. It describes the common economic benefits of a wartime economy.
B. It provides the background information necessary to understand the information in the third paragraph.
C. It explains what happened to the United States' economy during World War II.
D. It presents a possible objection to the author's main thesis.
E. It helps explain why individuals might hold the viewpoint presented in the first paragraph.

Like many a good philosopher, Socrates (470-
399 BCE) was obsessed with truth and the
correct way to stumble into it. In fact, in his
effort to find truth, Socrates placed value not
just on knowledge, but also on how we know
knowledge, and his inquisitive teaching style
reflected it. For one thing, Socrates never
lectured. Instead, he asked questions on top
of questions (a teaching method still used
to this day). The more his students answered,
the more they knew or, more accurately,
learned what they didn't know.
1) As a master philosopher, Socrates' great
est rhetorical tool was irony.
2) Unfortunately for Socrates, endless questioning
was also extremely annoying, and
the barefoot philosopher's inquisitiveness
made him powerful enemies.
3) For example, when you ask yourself, 'Do
I hate my job because I'm awful at it, or
am I awful at my job because I hate it?'
you're being Socratic in your search.
4) Such methods of learning were rare in
the ancient world, and consequently
Socrates was hailed as a genius by his
students.
5) If this did not work out, he reverted back
to the lecturing method.

India's past investments in large water infrastructure
have yielded spectacular results
with enormous gains in food security and in
the reduction of poverty. However, much of
this infrastructure is now crumbling. Shortfalls
in financing have led to an enormous
backlog of maintenance. The implicit philosophy
has been aptly described as Build-Neglect-
Rebuild. Much of what currently masquerades
as 'investment' in irrigation or
municipal water supply is in fact a belated
attempt to rehabilitate crumbling infrastructure.
1) Today, 70 percent of India's irrigation
needs and 80 percent of its domestic water
supplies come from groundwater, a
commendable fact nevertheless.
2) Faced with poor water supply services,
farmers and urban dwellers alike have
resorted to helping themselves by pumping
out groundwater through tube wells.
3) A number of areas are already in crisis
regarding housing infrastructure: among
these are the most populated and economically
productive parts of the country.
4) Severe water shortages have already led
to growing political mudslinging in Parliament.
5) Estimates reveal that by 2020, India's
demand for water will exceed all sources
of supply.

The sentence/paragraph labelled A is in its
correct place
A. The 'uncanny valley' hypothesis, intro
duced by Japanese roboticist Masahiro
Mori in 1970, holds that when robots and
other facsimiles of humans look and act
almost like actual humans, it causes a
response of revulsion among human
observers.
B. The name captures the idea that a robot
which is 'almost human' will seem overly
'strange' to a human being and thus will
fail to evoke the empathetic response
required for productive human-robot
interaction.
C. Mori's hypothesis states that as a robot
is made more humanlike in its appearance
and motion, the emotional response from
a human being to the robot will become
increasingly positive and empathic, until
a point is reached beyond which the
response quickly becomes that of strong
repulsion.
D. This area of repulsive response aroused
by a robot with appearance and motion
between a 'barely human' and 'fully human'
entity is called the uncanny valley.
E. However, as the appearance and motion
continue to become less distinguishable
from a human being, the emotional
response becomes positive once more and
approaches human-to-human empathy
levels.
