For Number 1..'demand that' is the proper idiom, and b would be incorrect because again, is using a improper idiom, and demanding used in that context seem to say that coca-cola company is demanding. For Number 2.. looking at it from parallelism, some propose...others suggest...not 'by attempting...by suggesting' propose parallel's suggest.

The answer choice D and E can be eliminated first because we are comparing same species to that of different species(not limited to one), and between can only be used when a comparision between A and B is made. 'Greater than' is an idiom and 'greater as' is not. Cancel A. Between B and C, the comparison is different species, plural, and in choice B, 'than that among individuals' makes it singular. 'Those' is plural and makes C the best answer.

None is one of the indefinite pronouns that is singular or plural. There used to be a old rule that defined that none is less than zero so it inherits a singular verb. However it is used in different context many times, and I would agree with you that since 'pregnancies' is plural, it should take a plural verb, but with the choices given...D is definetly the best answer, and that is what ETS will look for.
