Is this correct?
Let's review the sentence to ensure the correct usage of the words:
-
"A map scale shows how the distance, on a map relates to the distance in real life." (This is correct.)
-
"The scale of a world map is smaller than the scale of a country map." (This statement is incorrect; a world map's scale is generally larger because it covers a larger area in less detail compared to a country map.)
-
"The larger the scale, the closer the map is to real life size." (This part is correct, as a larger scale means more detail and a closer representation of real life.)
Based on this analysis, the correct fill-in should read:
"A map scale shows how the distance, on a map relates to the distance in real life. The scale of a world map is larger than the scale of a country map. The larger the scale, the closer the map is to real life size."
So, the correct replacements for the third part are "larger" for the world map's scale.
Thank you for your patience!
Oh ok so now is it correct?
Yes, with the correction, here is the accurately filled-out version:
"A map scale shows how the distance, on a map relates to the distance in real life. The scale of a world map is larger than the scale of a country map. The larger the scale, the closer the map is to real life size."
So now it is correct! Thank you for your understanding.
