0 Hi, 02br
02br
00The sentence below is quoted from my English-grammar textbook.02br
02br
00*Faulty wiring was the likely cause of the fire, but the fire inspector said they will not rule out the possibility of arson until 01u01b00a02b02u00 thorough investigation has been completed. 02br
02br
00According to this sentence, it's likely that the fire and the fire inspector have already mentioned. 02br
00My question is do we know the fact that there is already 01b00the investigation02b00 going on but as it's not been 01b00thoroughly completed02b00 and the concept of the investigation hasn't been yet formed, the speaker said 01b01u00a02u02b00 thorough investigation instead of 01b00the02b00 thorough investigation? 02br
02br
00Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!02br
