Are these sentences natural? September 23

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. Here is the customer database file. The only info we are missing is the industry served by a customer,



2. Who do you consider as John’s peers / Who do you consider as peers of John. ( which one is better?)



3. Also with respect to my original question, I have realized that, I can't start with A, B, C, D and try to find what happens if C and D turn into A and B, respectively.

Thanks,

MG.

Thanks MM.

Mister Micawber1. Here is the customer database file. The only info we are missing is the industry served by the customer.
Why did you choose 'the' over 'a'?

Mister Micawber 2. Who do you consider John’s peers?.
Is 'as' in the original sentence wrong or optional?

1. It seems businesslike. 'The customer is always right.'

2. I think it is redundant at least, certainly poor style, and maybe even 'wrong'. Let's see if anyone defends it.
