から and より used one after the other

Question

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?

@Dave07, I am baffled that we came across this doubt the very same day... Your textbook is Tobira grammar power exercises for mastery, isn't it? — jarmanso7, Apr 11 '20 at 18:17

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.

よりいい物が見つからないので、今ある物で我慢しよう
