"is home to" vs "is home of" #1 (permalink) Wed Dec 10, 2008 17:11 pm   "is home to" vs "is home of"
 

1. The flower market in San Francisco is __, and was established in 1930s.

A. home to the country’s second largest flower market

B. home of the second largest flower market in the country

I would choose A but my teacher says the answer is B. I think "the home of" would be correct, not "home of".
What is your opinion?

2. According to the scientific method, a scientist must consider __ outcome A. any outcome and the possible B. any outcome a possible
I would choose B but my teacher says the answer is A. I think this is the structure "consider something something". I feel it is more appropriate in meaning.
What is your opinion?
Please share me.
Thank you very much

1.You are correct. B needs 'the': 'the home of the...'.

2. You are correct. A is incorrect because there is more than one possible outcome, hence 'the' is wrong.
