IMO: A
flatly correctly modifies for packed
it should be pseudo subject rather than There

IMO B
Flat is referring to most clothes rather than the verb packed, so B is the correct answer.
OA?

B it should be... concise and precise
'It' in A has no referrent (arguable ??).
C is just too long (not sure whether it is grammatically correct).
D can be ruled our for use of 'being'.
E reverses the meaning.

our main noun here is clothing.. that's what we are talking about.. it needs an adjective.. to describe how it is packed.. "flat" is the adjective..
B is best.. coz its concise..
anyways, check this example too..
He hit the ball flat.. we never say he hit the ball flatly.. you can say he hit the ball deftly.. which is actually describing the skill..
HTH

I dunn think there needs a referrant here.... The answer has to be between A and C since flatly correctly modified packed ...the stmt can be read as "In the traditional Japanese household, most clothing could be flatly packed" so flatly is correct.vivek.kapoor83 wrote:vivek.kapoor83 wrote:IMO B
Anju : C cant be answer and 'there' has to refrent.
In A it needs a referrant and hence I chose C.
What's the OA?
