Which pronoun fits correctly in the sentence?
Jim plays ball more than (She, Her).
Jim plays ball more than (She, Her).

She. The sentence can be expanded like this: Jim plays ball more than she plays ball.--this is correct.It does not make sense to say:Jim plays ball more than her plays ball.
That is why she is the correct pronoun.

I never knew that. Very interesting.
u dont have 2 expand the sentence though. it could also be "her"
there's no way it can be 'her'. that's like saying "...than her does." you wouldn't say that. it's "...than she does."
I'm afraid that answer is incorrect. Neither would be correct considering the fact that the answers in the question are capitalized. Since they aren't proper nouns, they can't be capitalized.
lol tissue, you got the point, give him a break
..sorry if thunder is a she.
zzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzz...oh what..
? you never mentioned expanding sentence.
Genuinely uncreative.
Nice riddle! I got it right away.
