C says, wings that are shaped so smooth and perfect here smooth and perfect are modifying the way they are shaped, i.e. modifying a verb, so an adverb is required. Precisely, smoothly and perfectly, does the job here. Secondly, IMO, in A, the them placed later in the non-underlined sentence doesn't ...

This is, indeed, not the correct answer.cans wrote:out of 3 times, he speaks truth once. thus prob = 1/3.
p(3/reported = 3) = p(3 and reported=3)/p(reported = 3) = (1/6)*(1/3)/(1/3) = 1/6
The correct answer is [spoiler]1/11[/spoiler]
Experts pl help..!
