Thanks for your answer.
Another problem. I'm a bit confused when using verb result in and result from. Please tell me the way to use this verb correctly

Easy one to explain!

These two phrases are kind of opposites; we use result from to express the cause and result in to express the result.

Want examples? Of course!

<ul>[*]Exposure to cold can result in death.[*]Exposure from cold can result from spending too much time outdoors.[*]Joe's lie resulted in his dismissal from his job.[*]Joe's lie resulted from his lack of confidence.[/list]
Clear now? Hope so!
