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".

"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 anyone tell why A is the answer?
Vyshu said:   1 decade ago
The word "about" is no need in that sentence.
