आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'is more senior than' सामान्य तुलना लगा। परंतु 'senior to' आता है।'is more senior than' feels like a normal comparative. But 'senior' is already comparative in meaning, so it takes 'to' and not 'more'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'is senior from' में 'from' रखा गया। परंतु 'senior' के साथ 'to' आता है।'is senior from' keeps 'senior' and changes the preposition. But 'from' shows source or difference, whereas 'senior' takes 'to'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'is elder than' उचित लगा। परंतु बात वरिष्ठता की है, इसलिए 'senior to' आएगा।'is elder than' feels right as 'elder' goes with 'than'. But the sentence is about seniority in college, not age; 'senior to' is the right phrase.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) is senior to
कुछ विशेषण लैटिन Comparative से आए हैं (senior, junior, superior, inferior, prior, preferable)। वे अर्थ में पहले से Comparative हैं, इसलिए to लेते हैं, than कभी नहीं, और more भी नहीं।
✓
She is senior to me in college.
Some adjectives come from Latin comparatives (senior, junior, superior, inferior, prior, preferable). They are already comparative in meaning, so they take to, never than, and never more.
✓
