Hi CACERJ01,

Thanks for your post.

I completely agree with your comments. However, this sentence is given as an example in the Manhattan SC Guide (2003 Edition) - refer page 90, and it does not list any of the two forms specified by you.

I read a tip, which was mentioned in Princeton Verbal Review (on page 201), which was - "when comparing pronouns, make sure that pronouns are in the same form as the noun" and then it provides following sentence as an example:

"He is taller than I" - I know this sentence sounds correct but I am trying to understand how does this sentence adhere to logic stated in the sentence? As 'He' and 'I' are both pronouns, how does this example follow the rule mentioned in the highlighted sentence? Where is the noun and how is the pronoun form decided for this example?

Please let me know in case you have any thoughts on this?

Thanks again for your post.
