Hi!
No, I am sure, because I am reading the text and ask in according the pages. (The underlined part means nothing.)

Of course "The formidable passage" m​ay [STRIKE]be[/STRIKE] have been [STRIKE]sued[/STRIKE] used before.
Thanks very much.

Your title is "The formidable passage". Those words do not appear in the text you posted (in unnecessarily enormous letters!) in post #1.

1. Click on Edit Post and reduce the font size in post #1.
2. Give us the paragraph containing the words "The formidable passage" as given in your title.

I'd guess there is no paragraph with "formidable passage", just as there is none with "difficult text" etc. Pars finds it formidable and wants an explanation.
