Mr/Ms singh i am really not sure what you are trying to ask. May be you are aware of different B school exams in various countries, i am not.
I would appreciate an answer rather than a question. besides, this was just a drill to test a few idioms and grammar. Not the typical Gmat SC that we usually do. If anyone is not interested he/she can choose not to participate.
thanks
