<li>winston churchill, unlike many English prime ministers before him, had deep insight into the workings of the human mind. </li>
</ol>
<p>the answer is no error, but I thought it should be "had deep insight in". When do you use in, and when do you use into? </p>
<p>Also, I checked the difficulty levels for the questions.
They did not go in order of least difficult to most difficult. I thought it was supposed to do that, or is it not???</p>
<p>not quite sure since i just sorta skimmed the questions:
d- any other tool
b- idiom error. he had a tendency TO change</p>
<p>anyways, you should just post these questions in one of your other five threads. there’s no need to keep making threads. also, where are these questions from?</p>
<p>“any tool” should be “any other tool” because any tool includes the one just mentioned, and that is not used more than itself</p>
<p>2) b. of changing</p>
<p>“of changing” should be “to change” because tendency describes an action. the only time you say “tendency of [noun]” is when you’re describing the noun’s actions (e.g. tendency of him to rage).</p>
<p>3) e. no error</p>
<p>If I have insight, then there is insight in me (the house has a door, the door is in the house). If I have insight into something, then I have the capacity to understand, or penetrate, it</p>

“The use of consumer insight in advertising”
consumers have insight and it is used within the world of advertising into describes what is being discerned, like a situation
“more insight into the murder case after these commercials”
the insight is in the news because they have it</p>

<li>I’m not sure if I understand what you mean. So, you cannot compare hammer to “any tool”, because hammer is included in “any tool”. right? </li>
