Multiple Choice Question?
Hi teachers,
Here is a multiple choice question. I think something wrong with the options and distractors.
Question:
Mr Simpson is ..............student at university, but he is ............ to succeed than the others.
A) the oldest / more determined than
B) too old / as determined as
C) as old as / so determined that
D) the oldest / very determined to
E) older than / too determined
Am I right? What could be the correct answer here?
Thank you.

None of them makes a grammatical sentence. The only phrase that fits is the oldest.
In addition to BJ’s sentence, this is also possible:
Mr Simpson is the oldest student at university, but he is as determined to succeed as the others.
