(Marvins-Underground-K-12) #1
Cindy liked the movie more than (she/her) did.

The answer is now obvious to you:


Cindy liked the movie more than she did.

Keep this in mind: fi nishing the sentence also avoids any misunderstanding due to
ambiguity. What else could the sentence mean? Cindy liked the movie more than
her, meaning “her friend Lee”? Did Cindy like movies more than she liked her
friend Lee? No, this is not the intention. When in doubt, fi nish the sentence.
