    Difference between "over" and "on" Hi all, The question is: "All the employees at SEI Corporation are invited to the meeting _____ the new internal communications system that the company is about to bring in." A: at B: with C: over D: on The answer from book is "on" and I agree with it. However, when I check Oxford: http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/over_2 At the meaning no. 12, it says that "over" can also mean "about something". So I wonder if we can use "over" in this sentence. Is there any difference between "on" and "over" in this case? Thanks all.

    Can we say "an acute mind"? Hi all, Can we say "an acute mind"? I found a question from a textbook: Q : You have to have a really _____ mind in order to get your head round some of today's computing technology. A=acute B=cut C=razor D=sharp I choose D (of course) but I wonder if we can say "acute mind"? It seems to me that we can use both "acute mind" and "sharp mind".

    In the news OR on the news Hi all, I found this question in a textbook: Q: The company's stock tumbled _____ the news that it would have to recall over 30,000 tires that were produced in 2004. A: in B: for C: on Should I fill in the blank with "in" or "on"? I remember we usually use "on the news" but after checking Oxford dictionary, it seems to me that we can use both: http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/news?q=news - She is always in the news. - I saw it on the news. What's the difference? And what should we use in the question above? Thanks all.

    benefits or benefit Hi all, Can you explain the difference between "benefits" and "benefit"? I see this question in a book: Q: What is the company's policy on ----- for part-time workers? The answer is "benefit" but I don't understand why. I think it should be "benefits". I've looked it up in dictionary and it says that "on benefits (= receiving benefits)". Link: http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/benefit_1?q=benefit Thanks in advance.

    "far from exhaustive" - Why do we use "exhaustive" here? HI all, I see the sentence below in a book: "Though far from exhaustive, the study conducted by The Caratini Business Center identifies some of the issues affecting business decisions in small companies."
