Officials at the United States Mint believe that the Sacagawea dollar coin will be used more as a substitute for four quarters rather than for the dollar bill because of its weight, only 8.1 grams, which is far less than four quarters, which weigh 5.67 grams each.
A. more as a substitute for four quarters rather than for the dollar bill because of its weight, only 8.1 grams, which is far less than
B. more as a substitute for four quarters than the dollar bill because it weighs only 8.1 grams, far lighter than
C. as a substitute for four quarters more than for the dollar bill because it weighs only 8.1 grams, far less than
D. as a substitute for four quarters more than the dollar bill because its weight of only 8.1 grams is far lighter than it is for
E. as a substitute more for four quarters rather than for the dollar bill because its weight, only 8.1 grams, is far less than it is for
Although I know that the correct answer is better than the others, I am still confused about the latter half of the sentence:
because it weighs only 8.1 grams, far less than four quarters, which weigh 5.67 grams each.
weight can only be compared with weight (less/more), and object can only be compared with object (heavier/lighter), so what is the role "less" plays in the sentence?
If it is an adj. which modifies "8.1 grams", then the sentence is incorrect because "8.1 grams" can't be compared with the objects "four quarters".
