What is the source of these questions?

They are prolematic. On the GMAT, the non-underlined portion will always be correct. But in the first question "lead" should either be "led" or "leads". The second question should have begun with the word "the".

The source is GMAT SET. I too couldn't understand them ..Wanted to know how does one differentiate among
"no one",
"none "
and "no person". What is their correct usage.?

Here, both "no one" and "none" is correct. We would pick "none" because it is fewer words. Because grammarians themselves might disagree here, I really doubt a (current) official GMAT SC question would hinge on this distinction.

I think the question are debatable .I agree with Testluv .


The first question seems the non underlined portion "Accentuated by the cold weather during rainy season, moisture and dampness in soil lead"[/b]

Accentuated - past tense , lead - present tense should be led (past tense) .

In the second question A and B both are correct only we can choose B over A for lesser words .

Please DO NOT post multiple questions in single post , open a new post each question.

Thanks.[/b]

Accentuated by the cold weather during rainy season, moisture and dampness in soil lead to decomposition of organic matter into humus enabling mushrooms to flourish.
A. enabling mushrooms to flourish.
B. for the mushrooms to flourish.
C. for flourishing mushrooms.
D. that enable the mushrooms to flourish.(for correct option, it should be enables)
E. that the mushrooms can flourish

The sentence can be restructures as follows....
.....moisture and dampness in soil decomposes organic matter into humus that enables the mushrooms to flourish..

Or for the mushrooms to flourish....

But not option A..as it refers to the ongoing action with the action of the main verb. But the action of the participle will happen sometime after the action of the main verb, decompose. Or the action of the participle coexists with the action of the main verb, decompose.?[/b]

For Thomas Hardy question "B" seems correct Answer.
