Sentence structure question

your version is far more technically correct- I don't see any proper usages in the original!
but you might need to know what the inferrence was, vis-a-vis "off the national balance sheet".
To me, this implies much more than your "from the balance sheet"

I would offer an alternative answer here, N19.

Your 2nd sentence doesn't have quite the same meaning as #1. I would change it to this:

1. Though more debt than is admitted to may have been hidden from the national balance sheet, our fears on the economy have proved exaggerated.

Even then, 'hidden from' isn't quite the same as 'squirrelled away off': the latter has a sense of 'hidden from the balance sheet and dispersed in one or more places'. It gives a more active impression.

MrP

I have eaten more than i am admitted .

I have eaten more than I am admitted to .

Which sentence would be the correct one above ?

I think , both sentences should be right because the first one states a fact and the second one states a wrong thing .

Mister didactic sez, don't end sentences with infinickys
