A wise enemy is better_________ a foolish friend. Fill in the blank with ‘than’ or ‘the’ :

Answer 1

than is the answer ..

Answer 2

Greetings..!

A wise enemy is better than a foolish friend .

Here, than is used because there is a comparision between a foolish friend and a wise enemy. If the would have been used it would have made no sense.

Whenever we compare two things,especially with better before, we must use than.
