"About", identifies a topic. In option A, "problem" is specific and does not denote a topic. Hence option A is correct. Option C is not concise but it is grammatically correct.

Can any one tell me all the grammatical rules & their exceptions used to solve out these types of questions. I really need help B'coz I don't know any of the such rules & their corresponding exceptions used in english grammer. Reply soon. Waiting.

Option a is correct.

Because no need to use 'about' after discuss, also no need of so before thoroughly. Because its already so many times.

The correct is "we discussed the problem thoroughly".

Answer:option A.

"about"is not needed in the sentence.

Need not use "so" ans is "a".

Soujanya said:   2 decades ago
No need of using "so" & "about" in sentence 1.

Ronish said:   2 decades ago
But don't you guys think c can also be the right answer ?

Ravi said:   2 decades ago
Thoroughly means "so many times" like that then there is no need 2 use so again.

Niklesh Raut said:   2 decades ago
"about" is use before any topic so it is in right place but thoroughly @ means complete but not deeply.

So there no need to write "so".

Option a is correct.

And the sentence will be " we discussed the problem throughly".
