<p>The derelict old house (across from) the warehouses and the (even more) decrepit one (just beside) them have been placed on the list of historic landmarks. (No error)</p>

<p>Why the heck is A not the correct answer? </p>

<p>Isn't the use of "from" unnecessary? </p>

<p>The house ACROSS the warehouses. = The house ACROSS FROM the warehouses.</p>

<p>Gah.</p>

2

<p>Across from is actually the correct way to phrase the sentence. The house across the warehouses kind of implies that the house spans across the warehouses (makes no sense right?)
The correct answer is no error?</p>

3

<p>Yeah. It’s no error. </p>

<p>Grr, it’s the only one I got wrong.</p>
