请教一道语法题目

大全777

777.The man was always aware, sometimes proudly and sometimes resentfully, that he was a small-town Midwesterner who was thrust into a world that was dominated by wealthier, better-educated, and more polished people than him.
  (E) thrust into a world dominated by wealthier, better-educated, and more polished people than he
the key:E
后面的只有he，感觉无论怎样都不能和前面的对应起来，要是要对应的话，也应该是by him啊

请高人指正，谢谢！

句子的用法是than he (was),这里是主语之间的比较,应该用he
