set-7

Excercises for clarity & brevity


Many a time we use two terms interchangeably but they contain a crucial difference. Some other pairs are such that we know that there is difference but we have not articulated it words. We can sharpen our ability to distinguish if we try our best to define both terms, with respect to each other, in minimum number of words. Please try to do it for pairs given below. My answers will be published on next Friday. My answers need not be the best ones. May be yours are still better. Please let me know as to where I need improvement.
