I got it! Thank you, TJ Fallon, again. :)

Thank you, TJ Fallon. The 'newspaper' was my mistake. It has -s. I see that 'There' makes clear sense, but I'm still not sure why 'They' doesn't work.

"They are far more news sites on the Web than daily newspaper published around the world."

This is from a quiz without saying much. There's just four choices:
A. They
B. far more
C. newspaper
D. published

There are two things wrong with the sentence. "daily newspaper" should be "daily newspapers" since it is plural. Also at the beginning of the sentence "They" doesn't make any sense. It should be "There". If you can put more than one answer put A and C but if you can only put one answer then A is a better choice.
