CORRECT ANSWER IS: D (please explain why not B?) is there a comma after Stone? If yes, I don't think we can use who after a comma because it explains whoever we want to say before that. I don't know my explaination makes sense or not but that how write my paper. Another thing, feminists with "s" that another key to choose D. If it's B, it will be "first feninist". Hope I am right.


(10)Helium is not flammable and ,next to hydrogen ,is......
(a)known the lightest gas
(b)lightest the known gas
(c)the lightest gas known
(d)the known gas lightest

CORRECT ANSWER IS: C (please explain why not A?) Are you sure that you copied this question correct? comma after "and". Uhmmm, I have not seen this structure before.
