A or B? I am not sure. it seems the answer should be A because setback usually means frustration. But if A is correct, why isn't the preposition following the blank "by" or "from"? Is "with" ok here?
Besides, Dictionary told me that setback can mean "problem" sometimes, so " we have had a number of problems with the machinery" seems correct now. 
I am puzzled, help me and tell me why plz, thanks |
'distrubance' is usually related to emotions.
B) is the best choice. :D
