hm ..

is "and also" redundant here? i should pick one of them only right ?
btw, we dotn have to repeat "minimum of" after "rather than"

does "rather than" differ frm "than" in terms of grammar usage after "rather than" and "than" ?

WHAT IS QA

by resilient » Sun Feb 17, 2008 1:03 am
A and B are out because of beginning of sentence. D is out becuase it uses the word LESSEN instead of shorten. THe topic at hand is countable and LESSEN is used for uncountable things like pain. You are left with C and E but C is wordy so you are left iwth E. Choose it.

qa please!

"Rather than " in E makes it incorrect..

What do you mean by QA ? Are you asking for OA ? (Official answer)
