Quote:

As it had no choice trying to escape from the vulture, the doe strode quickly over the streamlet

Hi

I have taken the above line from ESL tests. Shouldn't it be chance?

Just thinking aloud!

. Hi Tom While you're thinking aloud, maybe you could voice your thoughts on using 'chance'. Why do you think that would be better? Why strode and not strayed? http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic8712.html 'Have no choice' is a typical/normal collocation. The sentence says that the doe's only option was to cross the streamlet. (A 'choice' would involve more than one option.) Amy _________________ Amy .
