句中的 more than 位置不对,不能放在动词前,应该调整到是介词短语 for the loss of money 前。
【解析】
more 修饰动词时是副词 much 的比较级,意思是“很大程度地”执行了某个动作。
than 要么用作介词,要么用作连词。
用作介词时,than 后需要跟名词性宾语,如:
The system has the ability to run more than (one program) at the same time. 该系统能够同时运行一个以上的程序
Jason is more than (a lecturer); he is a writer, too. 詹森不只是讲师,他还是个作家。
用作连词than 后需要跟从句或者省略主谓结构形容词或介词短语,如:
The pain was almost more than (he could bear). 这种痛苦几乎使他无法忍受.。【从句】
I do notwish to complicate the task more than (necessary). 我不想使这项任务不必要地复杂化。【形容词,省略了 it is】
本句中的 more than 后应该是介词短语 for the loss of money,省略了与前文意思重复的主谓结构,即——
His rise in status compensates more than (it does) for the loss of money. 他的地位提高在更大程度上补偿了他的经济损失。

第四点?
它们用样属于省略(用括号标出),只不过这种用法不常见。
以下分析供参考:
(1)Repeated advertising will more than increase product sales. 多次做广告意味着增加产品的销售。
= Repeated advertising will (increase) more than (it used to) increase product sales. 意思是“比起它曾经增加产品销售来,多次做广告能增加更多的销售”
【此处的more 是不定代词,等于 more product sales 的省略】
(2)His progress in English learning (is) more than (it has) encouraged him to learn the subject well. 在英语学习方面的进步激励他学好这门课程。
= His progress in English learning (is) more than (it has) encouraged him to learn the subject well.
【本句中的 more 是表语】
同理,His rise in status more than compensates for the loss of money 也可以恢复省略部分如下:.
His rise in status(is) more than (it) compensates for the loss of money.
【more 也变成了表语】
