aspirant1976 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I don't know how to explain. But I rejected A and B just because E was better. C and D were ofcourse out. I didn't like "being" in choices A and B. Sorry for not explaining this well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
