(B) "are LESSER", not "LESS", since, when in comparing we use 2nd degree adjective, as convention.

I guess 'lesser than those ' is appropriate.

Raka said:   5 years ago
Why not lesser than? Explain.

Huddie said:   6 years ago
'those in the hospitals' or 'that in the hospital'? Which is correct? Please explain.

Prachi said:   8 years ago
Why "those"? Please explain it clearly.

Since we use the 2nd form of degree. So won't it be lesser than?

The charges in this hospital are lesser than those hospitals near my house. I guess this is more appropriate.

Malli said:   8 years ago
Why can't the option D?

Why not "The charges in the hospital are less than those near my house. " "Those" indicates hospital in the 2nd part of the sentence.

What if there is a single hospital near the house?
