<p>Q1. Most drivers (know not only that excessive speeding on highways wastes) gasoline, but also that it is dangerous.
A. the answer is the same thing in the brackets, but couldn't it also be:
(are knowledgeable that excessive speeding on highways not only wastes)???</p>
<p>Q2: No one (objects to) his company, even though he has made insulting remarks (about) (almost every) member of the (group, when) he is a remarkably witty man.
A: D is the answer. I got that answer, but i guessed because it sounded awkward. is there a grammatical mistake there? </p>
<p>Q3: (Nearly all) of the editors of the magazines (agree) that of the two articles (to be published), Fujimara's is the (more exciting). (No error)
A: E is the answer. But why? I thought it was D because shouldn't it be "the more exciting one" ??? not just "more exciting" , iunno, that sounds strange to me!!!</p>
<p>thanks a lot if you could help!!</p>
<p>‘Are knowledgeable’ adds a to-be verb, which makes the sentence more complex than it needs to be. When in doubt, go with fewer words.</p>
<p>When should be changed to either because or as. If you take out the clause in the middle, the sentence reads as No one objects to his company/when he is a remarkably witty man. It sounds funky.</p>
<p>“One” is implied by the sentence. The sentence is basically saying that Fujimara’s article is more exciting than the other article to be published, according to the editors.</p>
<p>For Q1, your correction would be grammatically incorrect. The sentence would not be parallel if it were to read as you have corrected.</p>
<p>Q3: (Nearly all) of the editors of the magazine (agree) that of the two articles (to be published), Fujimara’s is the (more exciting). (No error)</p>
<p>Another way to think about the correctness of the sentence as is (i.e. without the addition of “one” to “more exciting”) is to rearrange it slightly:</p>
<p>Nearly all of the editors of the magazine agree that Fujimara’s is the more exciting of the two articles to be published.</p>
<p>For Q3: Nearly all of the editors of the magazines agree that of the two articles to be published, Fujimara’s is the more exciting.</p>
<p>When I re-read this it seemed a bit “iffy” as well. However, it’s just one of the rules of writing. </p>
<p>The sentence introduces the two topics, “…of the two…”, and the adjective used to describe it needed either a “more” or “less”. Though it may seem logical to add “one”, I believe it is not necessary. In other words, once I saw a “more” or “less” being added to contrast the two, I did not need to pay attention to which ONE. </p>
<p>I hope I helped (even in the New Year, haha).</p>
