can you please give an example where accusatives are compared?? according to your logic, 'than me' is impossible..

Question:
DIRECTIONS: A part of the sentence may have an error and rest are correct. Find out which part of a sentence has an error, the corresponding letter of that part is your answer. If a sentence is free from error, then your answer is (d).


Though she appears to be very tall (a)/ she is just an inch (b)/ taller than me. (c)/No error (d)

Options:
A) a
B) b
C) c
D) d
Solution:
Ans: (c) here, comparison is between she and me so Subjective case will be used.

Replace 'me' by 'I' in option (c). 

Here the comparison is between two subjectives, and if the comparison is between two subjectives/nominatives than we use subjective/nominative case of pronoun after Than/as
