i think 4


Point to be kept in mind #14


All of the sudden / All of a sudden


When something happens unexpectedly / rapidly, then use: "All of a sudden".


Wrong: All of the sudden

Right: All of a sudden.


Point to be kept in mind #16 (#15 already posted).


Borrow loan:


Highly favorite for competitive exams (spot the errors / correct the statements):


We NEVER borrow loan. Loan is borrowed money.

So, don't use "borrow" and "loan" together.

OA-3)A & E

Can anybody explain??
@bs0409
For E, I think the usage of ongoing process does not sound right alongwith the whole sentence.

About A: I've no idea why it is wrong.
@bs0409 said:

Ok for A -
A)Because diabetes can cause devastating damages- Incorrect
A)As It can cause devastating damage- Correct
i am not sure.....
for E out going is wrong..or replace illness with disease :P
but what about C?
people with diabetes should not underrate the seriousness of their disease.
people with diabetes should not underrate the seriousness of the disease?
Please clarify why C is correct?

@nikemen @bs0409 @mohit_1598

For A : Damage should be there..it has been used as an abstract noun..Damages will mean nothing.
For E : I think its a right sentence

@anuragu79
For A- please check what i have written.
tell me about C.
And for E ; either there is some problem with outgoing or illness must be replaced by disease.:-P

@mohit_1598

1. 'As it can' can be true but the given premises is true as well.

2. their disease is true...e.g. Don't take ur disease so lightly.

3. what is the problem with Outgoing/illness?

@bs0409
In first sentence it should be 'Since' instead of 'Because'.
In the last sentence the correct line is "illness such as diabetes is an ongoing process".

Therefore ans is A & E

A)Sumeet,I and Rekha will be attending the meeting today.
