A.challenging B.competitive C.rival

Which do you think is correct?



2. We can say that the leisure industry will be the money spinner of the future.

A. It can be said that the leisure industry will be the money spinner of the future.
B. The leisure industry can be said to be the money spinner of the future.


My first choice is A (no full stops required here) but the answer is B. I don't understand why answer A is wrong.

I think they are both acceptable.


Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum. :-D

Please try to answer question 1 yourself first and then we will comment. As you can see, with question 2, I think they are both OK.

Please review your use of punctuation, particularly full stops. I have made some corrections in red.

NOT A TEACHER

B is not the correct answer, at least, not according to my standard interpretation of this sentence. The keyword is "debate". What kind of cadidate would a politician debate?

​

The definition of a candidate is someone who is a competitor in a competition/election, so it is unnecessary to say "competitive candidates". (Note, there is a slightly different definition of "competitive" which might look as if it makes sense but it would be an unlikely usage.)

So - between A and C, which do you think fits?

Hmm.... I think Question C :roll:

[emsr2d2]

Yes, the other candidates are his rivals in the election so they are described as "rival candidates".
