thanExplanation
when comparing one item from a specific group of two, you use "of" to indicate selection from that group, rather than "than" which is used for general comparisons between two different things. Here's why: "Of" for selection from a group of two: When you say "the smaller of the two," you are selecting one boy from the defined group of two boys. "Than" for general comparison: You would use "than" in a sentence like, "Rasul is smaller than his brother," which compares his size to another specific person outside the initial group.Related questions
