<p>A few more writing questions...</p>
<p>Available through the school's guidance office is a job directory and a list of job referral centers that provide information for students in need of employment. No error</p>
<p>The answer is A (is), but I don't see why...</p>
<p>And also this one...</p>
<p>No one is sorrier than I that you missed the awards ceremony.</p>
<p>I was just wondering how come you say "I" even though it's in the phrase "than __". I got this right but I'm not sure why it is so.</p>
<p>It's "is" because there are multiple things available from the office -- a job directory AND a list of centers. Therefore, it should be "are" to reflect the plural subject.</p>
<p>The word "than" is always followed by I, he, she, or they -- never me, him, her, or them.</p>
<p>I've posted an explanation of this elsewhere on the forum, but here's the brief version...</p>
<p>If you say "She is taller than I," you are actually abbreviating the sentence "she is taller than I am." It wouldn't make sense to say, "she is taller than me am," right?</p>
<p>like ^ said.
a job directory AND a list of job referal centres. That's more than one so it's plural; not singular.</p>
<p>I just solved the exact same question 2 days ago.</p>
