hello again,

thanks for reply. i did refer to a dictionary what is the preposition that should precede 'level' and it prescribes 'at' or 'on' in the examples given. but i was strongly advised to put 'for'. when you said depending on the context, so what do you mean exactly? or could you please elaborate a little?

Thanks.
