beatit Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 The trick is not whether to use "help build" or "help in building" here. A,B,E: What does "it" refer to? In this case, "it" can refer to the capital or US or world war? D: Again a probelem with "it"? Also, this is a passive structure usually not preferred. C is the correct answer.

zafer Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I agree with C...... I think the probem here is the usage of "it"...... "it" does not agree with "sums"...... this make this question little tricky because someone thinks that "it" refers to capital which is awkward..... only C shows proper grammer construction.

humtum0 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Ans 'C' to help +verb is the correct usage to help succeed to help build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackXam Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 IMO C. in all others it - singular wrongly refers to "huge sums of money". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
