My take:

1. E - It is always "based on" and not "basing them on"
2. D - Agreement is still valid (not sure)
3. E - "it was" again is redundant
4. A - No change. "consequence of" D/E are totally wrong
5. A - Not sure

Hi Puys,

Initially we had decided on only one question set a day...I think all of us are now comfortable enough to take two set of qustions a day... but i can see the confusion has started... see the previous post... @anil.. please dont take me personally... this can happen with anyone..

Just few suggestions to reduce the confusion on the threads in case there are two or more question sets a day...

Today there are two question sets:
one by medulla and one by shivam...

1. quote the respective post so that the appropriate title will come automatically.
2. Delete entire content (as we dont really need to quote the question. Title will tell the respective question and page no)
3. Write your answer/explanation etc.
4. submit.

This is the simplest procedure i could think. You are free to apply your own understanding...
This will help us anwering more than one question set a day.

But Puys... let us keep a limit of three a day... more than that will make the thread messy...

@ego,@srikar, @pooja and other Puys... What say?

Yeah agree with you. In fact, if we just quote the beginning of the respective post while answering, it gives us a direct link as well to that post. This reduces our work of scrolling and going to that specific page, esp when the post in question is about 5 pages back.
If you see my posts, I have always tried to quote the particular question, along with a sentence or two, in addition to the phrase. This helps us to recall the question, since a phrase like medulla-VA6-7/7/2008-pg106 may not tell you what the exact question is!
Cheers!
