1) Politicians realized that,among people, concerns about crime are more than [spoiler][concerns about][/spoiler] health care
Does above sentence apply ellipses correctly i.e. is sentence correct without spoiler

2) CLP-300 laserjet printer emits only 43 decibels of noise, far quieter than most other laserjet printers
Does this sentence correctly compares 2 printers. I think it is incorrect as 2 entities being compared are 43 decibels of noise & most other laserjet printers

IMO;
1) This sentence is correct we dont need the spoiler part, as the meaning is clear.
2) This sentence is also correct the after comma part modifies the first part i.e. "CLP-300 laserjet printer emits only 43 decibels of noise"

"quiter" is an adjective so sentence is equivalent to "CLP-300 laserjet printer emits only 43 decibels of noise quieter than most other laserjet printers"
Do you think above sentence is correct ?

Also KAPLAN says 1) is INCORRECT, see pg213, explanation for Q21 https://books.google.co.in/books?id=3wDa ... e.&f=false

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
