Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct option is the first option.

Explanation:

It maintains the correct word order which is subject + verb + object and conveys the intended meaning that he impressed more with his words than with his acts. "Than" is used for comparison and "rather than"is used to show that something is less preferred than the other.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He impressed with his words rather than with his acts.
