Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) She is senior than me
Adjectives such as senior, junior, superior, inferior and prefer take 'to' and not 'than' when comparing. So 'senior than me' should be 'senior to me'. The other phrases, 'by two years' and 'in the service', are idiomatic and correct, so students who hunt for errors elsewhere are misled.
