sachigre Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 1. A 2. E 3. B Exp 1. licence means freedom here. 2. whereas and paradoxically suggests the option to be E 3. Tough one. One should avoid the simple and formula style in creative things because they are not earned but learned thus they are not original and hence mannered but the complex and subtle style is novel not easy to learn because it can't be put into some formula method hence it resists reduction into a formula. hope that helps.
