<li><p>No one is (sorrier but me) that you missed the awards ceremony.
should be, (no one is sorrier than I)
how come?</p></li>
<li><p>In 1969 BHS defeated Ross academy in the district’s first televised quiz bowl game, (even so, they) did not win again until 1983.
answer should be (but it)</p></li>
<li><p>(Having Florence Nightingale as their leader) and a growing awareness of the need for cleanliness helped to bring about the establishment of standards of hospitals.
should be (The leadership of Florence Nightingale). However, i think both of the sentences sound awakward.</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>You have two independent clauses, so they need to be seperated by a coordinating conjunction (and,but or or). In this case, there is a contrast between the two clauses, so "but" is the correct conjunction</p></li>
<li><p>The sentence has a compound subject and both subjects need to be in the same form. The sentence has written has one gerund clause (Having Florence...) and one noun (an awareness). To fix this, the correct answers changes the gerund into a noun clause</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>"No one is sorrier than I AM that you missed the awards ceremony. . ."
We don't say "No one is sorrier than me am that you. . ." For these questions, just add the "am" at the end.</p></li>
<li><p>First of all, if you use "even so," there will be a comma splice problem: it's a run-on sentence. . .using "but" is a conjunction that will make the sentence logical
Second, the word "they" refers to BHS. . .BHS is singular, so you need to use "it"</p></li>
<li><p>Yeah. . .this one is sort of more difficult. . .
When using "and", the two phrases must be parallel. . ."awareness" is a noun, so the phrase before "and" must be a noun as well. . ."Having" is used here as a gerund, which is technically a noun, so "leadership" would be a better choice. . .</p></li>
</ol>
<p>ay. . .yeah. . .what tanman said</p>
<ol>
<li>No one is (sorrier but me) that you missed the awards ceremony.
should be, (no one is sorrier than I)
how come?</li>
</ol>
<p>Because "than I" implies "than I am." "But me" doesn't fit, and "than me" would technically incorrect because you would be able to switch it. </p>
<p>"I am sorrier than no one..."</p>
<p>"Me sorrier than no one..."</p>
<p>thanks so much!! i have to quick questions though...
isn't growing a gerund? I thought having and growing were both gerunds so they were both parallel. correct me please
and is BHS "it?" does that make it a collective noun?</p>

<p>yeh i missed this 2. I didn't sound right..'it'? 'they' sounds like what it should be.</p>
<p>IN the first one the "am" after I is implied. </p>
<p>"No one is sorrier than I am" which is correct grammar.</p>
<p>hey twinkletoes23
its not growing that you should look for but awareness. Growing just defines awareness and since awareness is a noun for the sake of parallelism the first part should be a noun too. Over</p>
<p>Having is a gerund. Growing is an adjective.</p>
