Tell me the differences among Impact, Implementation, Effect
-
The test was conducted on the girls aged 18 years and above - since I have already is used aged, do I need to mention years?
- Both are possible, but it is likely that ‘while’ is the expected answer.
2, increase by. (It won’t increase up to 8.5% in total. It will add another 8,5% to the current total.) - Both are possible. For me, (1) would be the better of the two options, though I would prefer, “A possible model follows.”
- Have you tried looking for their definitions in a dictionary yet?
- No, and unless you are speaking about the girls over 18 from a particular set of girls, you won’t need ‘the’ before ‘girls’.

Sir,
I have some doubts.
- What is the difference between “among” and “between” and their usage?
- Also, I would like to know why “while” is more preferable than “and” in my first question (the one I asked earlier)
- The company has reduced its investment by one third / The company has reduced one third of its investment- which is the better way to say?
- among/ between. Please help me.
- I didn’t say it was preferable. I said it was probably expected. I guessed that it would be the answer whoever set that question wanted.
- They mean different things.
The company has reduced its investment by one third - the entire investment has been reduced (by 1/3 of the total value)
The company has reduced one third of its investment - only one third of the investment has been reduced (by an unknown amount)
