Answer 3

For comparisons, you want to make sure your comparison makes sense

going through the examples one by one:

Tim’s parrot learned to speak more quickly than did Mr. Riley’s. ---> makes sense, we're comparing two parrots on their ability to speak

We wondered if parakeets were more popular as pets than parrots. --> makes sense, we're comparing the popularity of parakeets and parrots

This pet store is said to be better than the one across town. ---> makes sense, we're comparing two pet stores on quality

A parrot’s feathers are more colorful than a parakeet. ---> illogical. this sentence is attempting to compare a parrot's feathers to a parakeet, when in reality we should either compare 1. parrot feathers vs. parakeet feathers, or 2. parrots vs. parakeets.
