The correct answer is 'had an even more pleasurable and exhilarating effect on Rostov than the'.

Key Points

  • The error lies in the incorrect usage of adjective in place of conjunction.
  • 'Then' needs to be replaced with 'than'.
  • Then: It is an adjective which means at that time (in the past or in the future).
    • Example: She was then sixteen years old.
  • Than: it is a conjunction and it is used to join two parts of a comparison.
    • Example: My son is a lot taller than my daughter.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: 'The sounds, which he had not heard for so long, had an even more pleasurable and exhilarating effect on Rostov than the previous sounds of firing.'
