A simple question came up that my colleagues and I couldn't come to an
agreement to which answer is most suitable. So, I told them I'd go right to
the experts here for help?
.............................................................
Question:
What items are offered for sale in the following advertisement?
===========================================================
ANTIQUE JAPANESE PORCELAINE SALE
A Once in a Lifetime Opportunity!
A collector from Japan is selling six of his most fine,
rare and exclusive pieces from his famous private collection.
Coming to Kuala Lumpur soon! * Pictures of four porcelain
Pan Pacific Hotel
22nd March 2000
================================================================
Answer:
A)Some second-hand porcelain
B)Some modern porcelain works
C)Some private collections of porcelain
D)Some exclusive antiques
..........................
I go for C because I think that the Japanese guy is selling his private
collection of "porcelain" and not other antiques. Unfortunately, all my
four other colleagues disagree with me; they choose D as a better answer. I
am confused. They could be right but can someone help me to explain why D
is correct and not C?
Please provide reason to your answer.
Thanks. I appreciate your help.
