- ‘strongly’ is incorrect in that sense. “It hit me strongly” (it hit me with force) in reference to a thought, smell, etc. is possible, but not in reference to a physical blow.
2 is incorrect
3 is correct and assumes ‘years of age’ at the end.
4 is incorrect
Beeesneees,
You have commented 'My pay cannot support my living." is wrong.
Is this question OK?
“What do you do for a living Raman?”
With a comma after ‘living’ that would be correct.
‘My pay cannot support the cost of living.’ would be more akin to what you are trying to say, or
‘My pay cannot support my living conditions/arrangements.’
‘My pay cannot support my lifestyle’ is also possible, though would carry the implication that if you changed your lifestyle, you would be able to manage. I suspect that you are trying to say that the pay is so meagre that even at the most basic level it is not enough. Perhaps:
‘My pay cannot support the basic cost of living for me.’
