2.Two-third of the work is completed.
1) "The road is under repair" is definitely right.
2) Two-thirds of the work is completed.

okk buddy.....thanks for correcting me.....
Ive a doubt in the set given below (it was posted earlier): we have to find correct sentences: i was able to figure two of them i.e. b&d..; ive a doubt in part a.. It is sometimes said that democratic (or is it something else).. kindly help:
a) It is sometimes told that democratic
b) government originated in the city-states
c) of ancient Greece. Democratic ideals have been handed to us from that time.
d) In truth, however, this is an unhelpful assertion.
e) The greeks gave us the w ord, hence did not provide us with the model.
(1) a, b, & d (2) b, c, & d (3) b & d (4) b only (5) d only
Can anybody tell me the difference between 'rather than' and 'instead of' ?
rather than can be followed by a noun or a verb.
instead of is always followed by a noun - "of" signifies the need of a noun as an object of a preposition.
hope this helps !!
