Answer:

El mas Alto

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to put "Mas" it would mean he is taller than 1 person, But since the text said "Que los tres" Means that Its more than 1 person he is taller than, He is taller than 3 People.

For this case we can translate the sentence given as:

The two boys are tall. But José is taller than them.

Joseph is ____ tall than all three.

In Spanish, comparisons of inequality are expressed as:

(More, Less) + (Adjective, noun, adverb) + than

(Más, Menos) + (Adjetivo, sustantivo, adverbio) + que

Then, the sentence can be completed as:

José es más alto que los tres.

Answer:

Option A
