Grammar
several grammar questions
I want to know whether these sentences are grammatically correct
1) Not all of us who pursue our dreams are so reckless to do something dangerous.(without 'as' before 'to' like 'so reckless as to do')
2) Asking questions with negative assumptions are more likely to get you valuable information.(Is it possible to use 'Asking' as an adjective?)
3) Keys to success of large-scale chain stores(without 'the' before 'success' like 'keys to the success')
4) the success keys of large-scale chain stores
5) keys of large-scale chain stores to the success
6) keys of the success to large-scale chain stores(as having the same meaning as 'keys to the success of large-scale chain stores')
7) chain stores of large-scale(as having the meaning 'large-scale chain stores')

1) so is correct 2) Asking is a gerund (noun, used as the subject of the sentence); it is singular, so the verb should be is . 3) Use the (this isn't, by the way, a sentence) The rest is totally confusing to me. Sorry.
