Dear Grammarians,
Could you lend me your grammaticality judgment on the following sentences?
If a student in one of your classes used "aware" as an attributive
modifier of nouns, how would you advise the student? Please use one the
following ratings for each of the sentences below:
A - perfectly acceptable
B - grammatically acceptable but not stylistically optimal
C - not grammatically acceptable
1. He was a very aware person, and he got more aware as he got older.
2. Knowledgeable and aware nurses can participate in institutional
infection control programs.
3. Music, perhaps more than any other art, appealed directly to the aware
mind, and stirred special emotions in it.
4. Another prerequisite for the success of this comprehensive model is an
educationally aware administration.
If you could let me know your answers by noon tomorrow (Friday) I would be
grateful. Thanks, Mike
