[多益] Grammar Question

[veronica18 (veronica)]

Hello I've got two questions about TOEIC Grammar (error recognition)

(and sorry I have no idea why I can't type in Chinese at the moment ><)


1. His efforts, which he claims are his best, would be less than

  satisfactory even to the least demanding person than myself.
                       ___________________        ___________
                                 C                   D

  I understand that C should be the wrong one but how about D?
  Is it acceptable to use 'than myself' instead of 'than me'?


2. To not ask questions or to be too curious are bad qualities to have
   __________              _________________                   ______
       A                         B                               C
   and cause people miss out on promotions.
                    ________
                        D

   The answer is D but I have two concerns:
   (1) What's the correct word/phrase for D?
   (2) When I check out the grammar book it says 'NOT' should be put
       in front of 'TO' to form a negative infinitive. But why is A correct?


Thanks for your patience  :D

推 djnospam:1. Nothing wrong with "than myself".
→ djnospam:sara.natcorp.ox.ac.uk  ->  search:  than myself
→ djnospam:2. http://pewebdic2.cw.idm.fr/  -> cause(2,verb)
→ djnospam:-> cause somebody/something to do something
推 djnospam:About "not": 用前頭的BNC查to not 出來相當多，以第一個
→ djnospam:為例: he admits to not having won any prizes or ....
→ djnospam:所以這種寫法沒問題。
推 djnospam:Ooops. 那例子不好，我另外找
