Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option ‘No correction required’ if the sentence is correct as given.
(The location was more then a mile from their given address), and we had to walk all the way.

Correct option is B

The correct replacement is: "The location was more than a mile from their given address."
The phrase in the original sentence contains a commonly confused pair of words: "then" vs. "than".
· "Then" refers to time or sequence (e.g., We went to the store, and then we went home).
· "Than" is used for comparisons (e.g., more than, less than, better than).
In the context of the sentence, a comparison is being made – the distance of the location compared to a mile. Hence, the correct word is "than", not "then".
Furthermore, the rest of the phrase is grammatically correct:
· “their” is the correct possessive pronoun referring to a plural subject.
· “given address” is appropriate and meaningful in context.
Information Booster:
1. "Than" vs. "Then":
· "Than" is used to introduce the second part of a comparison.
· "Then" is used to indicate time or what happens next.
· Example: She is taller than her brother. First we ate, then we left.
2. Correct Comparative Structure:
· "More than a mile" is a standard and grammatically correct expression.
3. Usage of "Their":
· "Their" is a possessive pronoun correctly used to refer to something belonging to a group (i.e., the people being referred to).
Additional Information:
· (a) "The location was more then a mile from their given address" – Incorrect. The use of "then" instead of "than" makes the sentence grammatically wrong.
· (c) "The location was more then a mile from there given address" – Incorrect. There are two errors:
· “then” instead of “than”
· “there” instead of “their” (confusing adverb and possessive pronoun).
