Hi,
In this sentence you need to express the idea of indicating. If you want to use the verb point, then you would have to use the phrasal verb point out.

| I think -Point -is a correct answer if its meaning is to indicate the way. |

Except its meaning isn't to indicate the way. So 'point' is not correct.

You said in another place that you speak from the point of a legitimate grammatical basis, which sounds good, I’m afraid now that you speak from a legitimate meaning basis, oh it sounds so divine potentialities. Oh I know that something divine seemed to cling around her like some subtle authority of language or like sudden smilings of divine delight.
wake up please,no one here can take a slightly one-sided point of view. |

You are wrong, and once again your bluffery does not hide your inability to provide a reasoned consistent argument.

Sound advice! I hope you follow it in future.

hi swarm of bees
I tried some consistent arguments in another topic, I made a comparison between Torsen’ sentence and Cambridge one and but you don’t give them their full weight, In spite of my plausible arguments you don’t want either to itch a little bit your beliefs or wear my arguments to tatters.
Maybe you should see that with Alain or Torsen . |

I gave them the weight they deserved.

That is the problem. They aren't plausible. They are full of bluff and bluster.
