| I used to spend much time reading English texts. But now when I begin to learn to use English I find it more difficult than reading. Please read the following sentence: The auction ends and you've won! You are the highest bidder. Now you and the seller must contact each other by e-mail, arrange payment and shopping terms and _________ the transaction. a. finish b. conclude c. accomplish The key is 'a'. My question is: why isn't 'b' correct? My dictionary reads: finish arranging an agreement etc successfully. And why isn't 'c' correct? My dictionary reads: to succeed in doing something. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance. Jiang |

I see no real difference between "finish" and "conclude". Either is acceptable. |

| I agree with MNY, what do you accomplish then? a goal? a task? a feat? |
