Hey,
It would be great if you can help me with the following question.
Tell me where you have been and [an account of] your activities there.
(A) an account of
(B) your accounting of
© what you account of
(D) what account you had made of
(E) give me an account of
I chose A, but the correct answer is E. While I understand that accounts are “given” not “told,” I didn’t pick E because it joins two independent clauses without a comma before the “and”. I thought the correct answer should be:
Tell me where you have been, and give me an account of your activities there.
But since the comma was missing, A seemed correct to me.
