[spoiler] Is my reasoning is correct? A - less than is wrong over here B and D - wrong because of double negative C - illogical, as it says about one percent of inflicted home E - proper , hence correct answer[/spoiler]

Hi hemant_rajput, Yes, your reasoning is perfect. Nicely done! GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made, Rich

So 'fewer' can be used with referring to percentage of homes? Is that because percentage is countable or the homes countable? What if homes were replaced with a non countable noun?

Hi faraz_jeddah, Yes, fewer can be used here because its a reference to "one percent of homes" (which is a countable thing). However, if the SC referred to a non-countable thing (such as "air"), the presentation would be this: Less than one percent of the air in the room. GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made, Rich
