Entails/encompasses
Are both these sentences grammatical? (And do they mean the same?)
a) "I don't know what exactly their mission entails, but this is certainly a worthwhile cause, since this disease kills many people every year."
b) "I don't know what exactly their mission encompasses, but this is certainly a worthwhile cause, since this disease kills many people every year."

THANK YOU.

Hi Grammatically, both sentences are ok. Personally, I wouldn't use 'encompass' there, I would save it for describing physical areas. I would probably just say 'involve' - I don't have the details of what their mission involves, but I know it's a worthwhile cause - The mission encompasses hospital services in all the northern districts of the country Hope this may help, Dave
