Dear teachers,
Please help me with the following two questions:
#1 Do we say 'get a hold of' or 'get hold of' in the situation below?
Luxury is something we usually talk about when we are buying something expensive, or really hard to get a(?) hold of, because most of us can't afford luxury items.
#2 Which choice is more appropriate? 'if we're being robbed' or 'if we've been robbed'?
If we are in danger, it's comforting to know that the police are just a phone call away, so if (A) we're being robbed (B) we've been robbed by someone, you can just get on the phone and call the police, and the police should come to take care of the situation.
