A is too wordy.

I understand that 'with' has multiple meanings and can be used as an adverbial modifier after a comma. But how do we identify each meaning and usage?

Hi GK

The third one is actually correct. Took it from dictionary.com - he had no awareness of his mistakes

[bnair]

my2 cents...I think between 1 & 2, 2 is the winner since verb > adjective > noun.

for the same reason, "can be conquered" sounds more appropriate than "is conquirable"


Between "I have no awareness of my mistakes" and "I am not aware of my mistakes", to me, "am aware" sounds better though I can't think of any apparent problem with "have" usage. However "he had no awareness of his mistakes" is something in the past,done and dusted, and guess should not be used to derive the statement "I have no awareness.."
