Hi vinay1983,

This is not a great sample SC question because the "intent" is unclear. There's no context for what Dick Cheney is doing in this sentence (other than speaking). Ambiguous sentences don't show up in the Verbal section, so I'd throw this one away.

I wonder what happened to this question. maybe some typo error. Will take up the matter with the concerned people. Thanks Rich!
