"Not to mention that it is illegal" = In addition to the fact that 2 it is illegal.
1 In case of: This is the correct answer. "In the event of (something)" means "if (something) happens", or "in case it happens". Example: In the event of rain, the tennis match will be cancelled.
1 In the middle of: This is incorrect. "In the middle of" means "busy doing something". Example: Bruno was in the middle of a phone call, when Horatio walked into his office.
1 In the vicinity of: This is incorrect. "In the vicinity of" has two meanings. 1. Approximately, for example: Our flat is priced in the vicinity of $250,000. 2. In a nearby area. Example: The restaurant is situated in the vicinity of the Eiffel Tower.
1 In the absence of: This is incorrect. "In the absence of (someone)" means without them. Example: In the absence of Icarus, Brian had to prepare the financial report alone.
2 In addition to the fact that: This is the correct answer. "Not to mention" is an expression which means "moreover" or "in addition to". Shannon uses the idiom to express that Delavigne Corp could be responsible to pay large damages, and also that it is illegal not to have a certain type of insurance in some states.
2 It just goes to show that: This is correct. "It just goes to show" is an expression that is said when something proves that something else is true. Example: The success of Delavigne Corp just goes to show that Americans like French perfumes.
2 Nobody knows that: The expression "not to mention" adds further information to a previous idea. "Not to mention" has nothing to do with nobody knowing.
2 Don't tell anyone that: The expression "not to mention" adds further information to a previous idea. "Not to mention" has nothing to do with a request not to tell anyone.
