To complete the gaps in the sentences, we need to choose the phrases from Exercise 2 that accurately reflect the comparisons being made.

Let's take a look at Exercise 2, where we have a list of phrases:

- taller
- younger
- more expensive
- shorter
- older
- bigger

Now, let's analyze each sentence and choose the appropriate phrase:

1. In the first sentence, we are comparing the speaker's sister to the speaker. The word "than" indicates that we are discussing a comparison of two people. The speaker's sister is being compared to the speaker, so we need a phrase that shows a comparison of people. The correct phrase to use here is "younger." Therefore, the sentence should be completed as follows: "My sister is younger than me."

2. In the second sentence, we are comparing John to Mary. Again, the word "than" indicates that we are making a comparison. We need a phrase that shows a comparison of people. Looking at our options, we can see that "older" is the appropriate phrase to use. Therefore, the sentence should be completed as follows: "John is older than Mary."

3. In the third sentence, we are comparing two books. The word "than" indicates that we are comparing two objects. In this comparison, we need to use a phrase that shows a comparison of objects. Looking at our options, we can see that "more expensive" is the appropriate phrase to use. Therefore, the sentence should be completed as follows: "This book is more expensive than the other one."

To summarize, the completed sentences are as follows:

1. My sister is younger than me.
2. John is older than Mary.
3. This book is more expensive than the other one.

Remember, when completing sentences like these, it's important to pay attention to the words used to compare and choose the appropriate phrase that accurately reflects the comparison being made.
