Error correction exercise: The psychiatrist asuggested against allowing Mavis... Tue Jan 29, 2008 14:21 pm  Error correction exercise: The psychiatrist asuggested against allowing Mavis...
 

Hello, I need to spot the mistake in the following sentence:
"The psychiatrist asuggested against allowing Mavis to live with her family."
I know the mistake is "suggested" and could replace it with "advised" or "warned". I was simply wondering whether it would also be possible to say "argued against allowing..." Thank you
Monica

Hi Monica,

'Argued against' sounds fine.
