  1. (Despite) the (lack of) eyewitness testimony, the prosecutor (found) the circumstantial evidence compelling enough to (charge Asher about) the robbery

  1. When asked (which) baseball team was my favorite, I (chose) the Yankees because (they) have the (more impressive) history

@AmericanGothic is correct on #2.

I would say:

  1. D (Idiomatic Error)
  2. D (Should be most since comparing more than two things)

When asked which baseball team is my favorite, I choose the Yankees because they have . . .

This problem is stoopid.
