You try first.

The word 'such' would be better than 'so'. Where did the exercise come from?

You have asked the same thing in two different ways.

Which do you think is the best preposition?

It should be "such great progress."

Perhaps it was a typo?

1.They have made no great progress ______.


--lotus

1.They have made no great progress ______.


--lotus

As it turns out, they are not doing well at all. ;-)

(In my opinion, "great" is enough. You don't need more adjectives.)

They are all correct, Ithink .However, it is difficult for a non-native speaker to tell which is better , so I 'd like to ask you ,native speakers, for advice.

Anyway, thanks alot though it hasn't been done .

"So" does not work.

Please read all the responses. You have been asked where you found this exercise. You have been asked to check the spelling - did it say "so" or "no"?

Note my corrections to the spacing around your punctuation.

As has been pointed out, no would make more sense than so there. Or you could just delete so. Then you would have: "They have made great progress over the last three years.
