Our armed forces are . . . . . . . those of any other country in the world.

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The correct answer is Option B: Superior to

First, let's define the term "superior". Superior means higher in rank, status, or quality.

The word "superior" is used to make a comparison. When making a comparison using "superior," we use the preposition "to," not "than," "from," or "of." The correct structure is "superior to." This indicates that our armed forces are of a higher rank or quality compared to those of any other country.

Option A: Superior than is incorrect because "superior" is followed by "to," not "than." "Than" is used for comparisons with adjectives like "better," "bigger," or "smaller." For example, "My car is better than yours."

Option C: Superior from is grammatically incorrect. "Superior" doesn't take "from" as a preposition in this context.

Option D: Superior of is also grammatically incorrect. "Superior" does not take "of" as a preposition when making a comparison of this nature.
