💡 Explanation: In all cases, we are comparing the length of the objects. "Longer than" means one object extends more from end to end than the other. Even though some objects like chairs might be compared in height, in this context, "length" refers to overall size along the horizontal or vertical axis depending on orientation — and in every case, the second object is smaller.

So, all answers are "longer than" because the first object in each pair is longer than the second.
