Something like ‘because’ is needed as the first term in the underlined part. ‘For’ works well.

C and D can be eliminated due to wrong use of ‘with’. They both distort the meaning by changing "Not everyone knew" to "everyone did not know"

A and B can be eliminated for the awkward use of “in attendance”.

E is the best choice.

During her lecture the speaker used map to clarify directional terms, for not everyone in attendance was knowledgeable that winds are designated by the direction from which they come.

(A) for not everyone in attendance was knowledgeable
(B) for everyone in attendance did not know
(C) with everyone in attendance not knowing
(D) with everyone attending not knowledgeable
(E) for not everyone attending knew



If you note carefully Option B completely changes the meaning of sentence. "Not everyone was knowledgeable" is not same as "everyone did not know."

Just like "not everyone in class passed" is not same as "everyone in class did not pass."

Only choice that correctly communicates the meaning here in option E.

Is there anything apart from verbiage that rules out "everyone in attendance" vs "everyone attending" ?

Between option A and option E, i made a choice only because of concision. Is there something i am missing here ?

Between A and E, I too can't see more than concision as the main difference. Perhaps at best we can correlate a style such as the "V-A-N" rule wherein we can say an action related 'attending' is better than the noun 'attendance' or the verb 'knew' is more preferred than the adjective 'knowledgeable.'

I got the answer right, which is option E but I am having trouble understanding the grammatical issue with option A, particularly the use of ' In attendance'

Can someone please explain to me why option A is incorrect and E is correct?

During her lecture the speaker used map to clarify directional terms, for not everyone in attendance was knowledgeable that winds are designated by the direction from which they come.

(A) for not everyone in attendance was knowledgeable
(B) for everyone in attendance did not know
(C) with everyone in attendance not knowing
(D) with everyone attending not knowledgeable
(E) for not everyone attending knew

If it was during her lecture, isn't 'in attendance' that implies currently there more apt than 'attending' which implies will be there?

Neither "in attendance" or "attending" implies a time frame. They both modify the noun "everyone," so the time frame is simply whenever the action takes place. We can say "Everyone attending the conference received a gift bag" or "Everyone attending . . . WILL receive . . ."

The flaw in A is "knowledgeable that." That just isn't a phrase that's used. You can be knowledgeable about something, but there's no need for "was knowledgeable that" when we can just say "knew that."

(A) for not everyone in attendance was knowledgeable

"was knowledgeable that" is not correct we need a preposition such as "about" to connect to the next part.

(B) for everyone in attendance did not know

now is "everyone" not "not everyone" who did not know, so changes the meaning.

(C) with everyone in attendance not knowing

she used the maps "with everyone", sounds funny and it is wrong.

(D) with everyone attending not knowledgeable

similar to C)

(E) for not everyone attending knew

looks good

Answer is E)

Because option A, B & C can be eliminated as it has used "In attendance " and option D states that everone was not knowledgeable which is not true few or many of them were not knowledgeable. Hence option 'E' is right.
