Dear Colleagues, Here �s an excerpt from yesterday �s school finishing exam in Hungary : Florence Nightingale changed nursing from a mostly untrained job to a highly skilled medical profession with very important __________(responsible) According to the key responsibilities is the only solution. Can we have the singular responsibility here? |

I don �t think so, because of the lack of an indefinite article. |

Szamoca meant the uncountable, abstract noun "responsibility", not the singular form, which would need an indefinite article. However, I agree that only "responsibilities" works because of the word "important". If it had said "with very much _____", then it would be "responsibility". Bruce |
