Please help me on this.
Seven people in this village would be ( ) than 65.
Can I put "more" or "older" to mean over the age of 65??
Thanks so much. |

Actually, I'd prefer, "Seven people in this village would be over 65." The other two sound okay, but this one is better. |

Thanks so much for the reply, but I was asking which I can use "more" or "older" to put the particular sentence of "Seven people in this village would be ( ) than 65.
I hope my question is clear.
Thanks again. |

I think if the question is from a test, "OLDER" would be the better answer. |

Yes, it's from a boring test thing.
Thank you for the answer. |
