Answer 1

Answer:C

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that uses the word “then” or “than” in a way that is questionable to some people is following one: At first, I was unsure about going to the gym, than I went for a few days and found out I loved it! The word “than” is used primarily for comparison, not to indicate time passing or chronology. ( I just took it on USAtest prep)

Answer 2

Hi !!

A, B and D are correct....

C is not correct

At first, I was unsure about going to the Gym, then I went for a few days and found out I loved it !

Then = relates to time . It's an adverb. You can change it with afterwards (A,C) ,with "at that time" or as a consequence (D)

Than = most of the time it introduces a comparison (he is smaller than Paul)

"Rather than" is an adverb meaning "instead" (B)

hope I helped !!
