Could you check this please?
Hi,
Could you check the following please? Can I omit the second verb (underlined part) to avoid repetition? If yes, what is the grammatical rule?
"The mean standard deviation was used to describe the quantitative variables, and the frequency report (percentage) was used for the qualitative variables.
Thanks!
