Small businesses in the central Lyriana business district are more likely to receive pedestrian traffic than are larger businesses in the central Lyriana business district.

Could not make out what's wrong with this sentence

X are more likely to receive Y than Z

There is no necessity for 'are' after than. Hope i am right.

Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

I got this sentence from below forum, which gives incorrect sentences.
I posted this question to know why the comparisons are wrong. Hence
The sentences are neither underlined nor have 5 options

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
