Key Points

  • 'superior to' should be there in place of 'superior'
  • If different prepositions are needed with different adjectives, appropriate prepositions should be used with them.
  • When prepositional phrases are used in a parallel series, prepositions (with, to, of, over, under, by, etc.) should be repeated with every element of the series unless all elements use the same preposition. 
  • Mixing prepositions improperly in a parallel structure is a common writing mistake. If a writer allows multiple phrases to share a preposition and then introduces a different preposition with another element, the result is a clumsy sentence.
  • Example: 
    • The baby flung spaghetti strands on the walls, the counters, and under the table. (wrong)​
  • ​The first two elements require the preposition on, but the last element requires the preposition under. Therefore, it is necessary to repeat all three prepositions when combining the elements into a parallel sentence structure.
  • Example:
    • ​The baby flung spaghetti strands on the walls, on the counters, and under the table. (right)
  • ​Some adjectives ending with 'or' like junior, superior, senior, inferior, prior, anterior, posterior, etc. do not take 'than' after them, instead 'to' is used after them.
  • More and most are not used before adjectives ending with 'or' like junior, superior, senior, inferior, prior, anterior, posterior, etc.
    • ​For example: 
      • I know she is junior to you.
  • Therefore, in the given sentence 'to' will be used after 'superior'

​Thus, the correct sentence is: My laptop is superior to and more expensive than that.
