1) The clothes looked more appealing inside the store than on the racks outside
In the above sentence signal word for comparison is "more than". Here " more appealing " is adjective as it describes noun "clothes".Is that right?.
are " inside the store", "on the racks " parallel in structure.please explain

Hi Tom,
You are correct, those are parallel. I usually think of the comparison signal as "more appealing than." In fact, I generalize this structure as:
(optional "no" or other adjective) + more/less + (optional comparative word) + than
I like baseball more than I like hockey.
She is no more beautiful than I am.
The acrobat is more talented than the magician.
No less surprising than the queen's jump during the opening ceremony was the Mexican soccer victory which followed two weeks thereafter.
The purse was much less expensive after the sale than it was at the beginning of the season.
Here's your sentence:
The clothes looked more appealing inside the store than on the racks outside.
Your sentence is notable in that there's a false comparison: we're not actually comparing the word "inside" to the word "outside," although that's what you might expect. "Outside" is just an extra adjective for "racks," and is not notable in terms of the structure of the sentence.

Hi rjacobs
Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. Can you please explain the following sentence?
1) Thomas is more interested in video games than his girl friend
correct farm :a) Thomas is more interested in video games than his girl friend is
correct farm: b) Thomas is more interested in video games than in his girl friend
Comparison signal: "more interested than"
1) Is "more interested" modifying " video games" and acting as adverb?. Is that right?.
2) In the correct farm a ), the actual sentence is "Thomas is more interested in video games than he is interested in his girl friend". Can you please tell me how to write the second part of the sentence in such a concise way
