<p>Oprah Winfrey A(has) the B(distinction of) having promoted the sales C(of more) serious contemporary novels than D(any) talk show host. E(No error)</p>
<p>Opinions on Charles Ives as a composer A(have always been split,) with some listeners regarding him as, B(at best,) an entertaining eccentric, C(while) others lauding him as the D(most influential) composer of his age. E(No error)</p>
<h1>2 is C</h1>
<p>Should be “with some ___<strong><em>,AND others </em></strong>”</p>
<h1>1 is D. Should be “…than any OTHER talk show host.”</h1>
<p>Thankyou for replying
But can you explain the first question?</p>
<p>the phrase “any talk show host” implies Oprah Winfrey herself. How could she have promoted more sales of novels than herself? It’s illogical.</p>
<p>“Any other” makes the comparision more suitable because now you are comparing Oprah Winfrey to another talk show host, not Oprah Winfrey to herself.</p>
<p>What airfreshener said.</p>
<p>That clears things. Thanks</p>
