SAT grammar question

<p>NEARLY ALL of the editors of the magazine AGREE that of the two articles TO BE PUBLISHED, Fujimura's is the MORE EXICITING. NO ERROR</p>

<p>(College board book page 540)</p>

<p>The answer is "no error", but I don't understand why "more exiciting" is correct. Can someone explain why it is correct? Thanks alot!</p>

<p>uh, first of all, what do you think is wrong with it? </p>

<p>if you were under the impression it should be "is the most exciting," that doesn't apply b/c there's only two articles in question.</p>

<p>"More exciting" is correct because only two things are being compared. If there were three or more, it would be "most exciting".</p>

<p>i thought it was "the more exciting one"</p>

<p>oh i see. it isn't a misplaced modifier though, so the "one" to clarify that the article is what is exciting is unnecesary, because ,the " 's " at the end of "Fujimara" implies that it is his article that is being described.</p>

<p>oh i see thanks. I was just thrown off by the "the". If it said "fujimura's is more exciting", I would have thought it was right, but since it said "fujimura's is THE more exciting", I thought I would have to add the "one".</p>
