. 'Fall behind in' means 'fail to keep to schedule', which we don't 'always' do, and which does not make sense in the given sentence. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

| Just in case you didnt notice, wrong answer d is mistyped (ou instead of on). Maybe it's ok for wrong answers to be mistyped, but I feel obliged to graw your attention to it :) |

No. 'Fall back on' = rely on, have recourse to. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

A workaround is a practical survival technique, in which users eliminate the effect of a programming bug by changing they way they use a system. For example, a user workaround may change the style of data input to achieve a certain type of output. Unfortunately, many workarounds become so widely used that programmers are discouraged from fixing the original bugs (and thereby creating unexpected outputs from the workarounds). _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
