I came across a statement in my Japanese book and wondered if someone could
help me out with it.

> ( )の中からより適当な方を選びなさい。

I reckon this translates to from the ( ) choose the most appropriate option.

But why is からより used? Shouldn’t it be one or the other as they both have the
same meaning?

question
particle-から
から and より used one after the other
No, they do not. Not in this context. から means from, and より means more, which
is an adverb modifying 適当な.

[Article 4 of the jisho page for
より](https://jisho.org/search/%E3%82%88%E3%82%8A) has an example sentence:

> **より** いい物が見つからないので、今ある物で我慢しよう
