Click to correct the pronoun if needed.

Marvin and Olivia both travel extensively for work, but he has visited more countries than she .

key idea

Subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, and they) act as subjects of sentences or clauses. Object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, and them) act as objects of action verbs or prepositions.

Sometimes words in a clause are omitted because they are understood or implied. These clauses are described as reduced or elliptical. In reduced adverb clauses with than or as, use the pronoun that you would use if the missing words were present.

Neal can run faster than I.

Neal can run faster than I (can run).

The subject pronoun I is the subject of the adverb clause.

Did the plot twist surprise you as much as me?

Did the plot twist surprise you as much as (it surprised) me?

The object pronoun me is the direct object of the verb surprised in the adverb clause.

solution

The subject pronoun she is correct. It is the subject of the adverb clause than she (has visited).

Marvin and Olivia both travel extensively for work, but he has visited more countries than she (has visited).
