0Thank you Feebs11, but I think in (a)" 01b00had died02b00 " should be used instead of" 01b00have died02b00 ". It is like (c).02br
02br
00As of Monday = until Monday. Monday is a point of time in the past02br
02br
00As of March 2008 = until March 2008 . March 2008 is a point of time in the past too. 02br

02br
01b00"As of02b00 "basically means 01b00up to,on or from02b00 (a specified time).02br
02br
00So I think It could be written as follows:02br
02br
00a/ 01b00As of/By Monday02b00 (= up to Monday ;today is supposed to be Wednesday )1500 people01b
