<p>The [often illogical] arguments of Mayor Baldwin’s critics [make it impossible] to determine which of the critics’ positions [is] [more likely] to influence voters in the next election. [no error]</p>
<p>The answer is supposed to be E, no error. But, I put “more likely” because since there are more than 2 critics, shouldn’t it be ‘most’ likely’? Thanks for any input!</p>
<p>Your analysis is correct. I believe the question is vague in the number of critics involved so it could go either way. Bad question.</p>
<p>Omit the modifiers and prepositional phrases and it should be clear that it is correct as written. </p>

<p>Seconded. Where’d you get this question from?</p>
<p>How do you know that this mayor Baldwin is not a mayor of a village with a population of … 1 000 people and he has only 2 critics ?
Inappropriate question.I bet you didnt get it from some of the CB`s sources</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if he has 2 critics or 2 million. More likely or most likely doesn’t matter. Either is correct.</p>
