    Solution

    When a direct comparison is made between two things, “than” must be used with comparative adjectives like better, worse, higher, lower, etc. “As” is used in equality comparisons (as good as), not with comparatives. “Like” is used for similarity, not comparison. “From” is incorrect in comparative structures.
