Dear teachers,
I have two questions to ask.

No.1 Drivers________ speed laws only when they think the police are near.
a. obey b. observe
The key is 'a'. But as far as I know we can say to observe disciplines. If 'b' isn't correct does it mean it cannot modify 'laws'?

No.2 No one needs to feel awkward in _______his own customs.
a. following b. pursuing
The key is 'a'. But as far as I know we can say 'to pursue one's study'. If 'b' isn't correct does it mean it cannot modify 'customs'?

I am lookng forward to hearing from you.

Thank you in advance.

I agree with Red in both cases. In the first "obey" would be the more normal choice. :wink:

I sent you an eamil just now and kept reading the other answers. I don't understand this '5000+'. Why not 10,000 or other figures instead? Is it an idiomatic use?

I was referring to the number of posts that RonBee has made in this forum. He's the Posting King here!
