During her lecture the speaker used map to clarify directional terms, for not everyone in attendance was knowledgeable that winds are designated by the direction from which they come.
(A) for not everyone in attendance was knowledgeable
(B) for everyone in attendance did not know
(C) with everyone in attendance not knowing
(D) with everyone attending not knowledgeable
(E) for not everyone attending knew
OA E
In order for the OA to be correct wouldn't the answer need to read "for not everyone that was attending". Wouldn't you need to use the present continuous tense, and not just a simple gerund? As it is written now, the implications is that it is referring to the people that would be attending in the future. If that is the implication then wouldn't the "knew" be inappropriate?
