	Clive  +  609572 Wed, 10 Dec 08 04:23 PM Hi, 1. The flower market in San Francisco is __, and was established in 1930s. A. home to the country’s second largest flower market B. home of the second largest flower market in the country I would choose A but my teacher says the answer is B. I think "the home of" would be correct, not "home of". What is your opinion? I agree with you. Only A is idiomatic. However, in neither case is it good English to repeat the phrase 'flower market.' I'd prefer The flower market in San Francisco is the second largest in the country, and was established in the 1930s. 2. According to the scientific method, a scientist must consider __ outcome A. any outcome and the possible B. any outcome a possible I would choose B but my teacher says the answer is A. I think this is the structure "consider something something". I feel it is more appropriate in meaning. What is your opinion? Please share me. Thank you very much Again, I agree with you that B is correct, for the reason that you stated. I'd add that A does not really make sense, because 'any outcome' would include 'the possible outcome' so the latter phrase seems redundant.   Best wishes, Clive Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,301 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo Plants, Countries, United States, United Kingdom, Great Britain
