Can i please ask for guidance concerning the following sentence:<br/><br/>"Without his efforts the place could have closed, and it could easily have been SO"<br/><br/>I would like to know :<br/><br/>A) Is the word EASILY correctly placed? - or should it be between HAVE and BEEN?<br/><br/>B) Is the word SO at the end necessary or optional?<br/><br/>Thank you, forum members
