Sir,
Iam very impressed about ur tests/web site. U are giving me an idea about the knowledge of english. Iam very familiar at English. But, some how Iam not using this language fasterly, properly. Would u plelase give me any ideas to improve my knwoldge in english essay writing, speaking fluently etc., I hope u would give me better solutions. This is not only my problem, but also various people who came from the other parts of the world and want to take further studies/carier here(u.s.a.)

Here, this question is mentioning that difficult to "choose" Why it is not "find". Can you give me the examples?

thank u very much.,
sailaja.

You need choose because there are many things available and you have to pick one of them and you have to decide which one.

Hi Alan,

We've been tought right from our childhood that "we choose from a set of things". There is no "from" in the question. so how do you explain choose as a correct option? I felt that, in this specific case "things" would have been a better choice.
