Errors: management are very highly important in an industrial society... Fri Dec 29, 2006 15:01 pm  Errors: management are very highly important in an industrial society...
 

Hi Teachers,

1. Effective relations between labor and management are very highly important in an industrial society. (Is it right to use 'very' together with 'highly'?

2. In the nineteenth century, Red Cloud rose to leader among the Sioux through his bravery in battle and wisdom in council. (Can i change it to "rose to leadership?)

3. Adobe bricks are made by wetting clay, mixing it with straw or hay, and packing into wooden frames. (There are four underlined choices. I think we should add 'it' after packing'. Is that right?

Thank you.

Hi Rosalisa

Better to use extremely in 1.".................management are extremely important....."

Sounds better to say 2"......... rose to leadership of the Sioux..." but personally would stick with leader.

and "it" would be better in 3.

"Very highly" is excessively over-redundant. "Highly" is plenty, or as Stew said, you could go with "extremely".

"Leadership" would sound better in that sentence, but you can also say "rose to become leader of the Sioux".

Colloquially, some people would speak in this kind of shorthand, but as Stew says, and as you say, we should add "it" after "packing".
