0Hi Stevenukd. 02br
02br
00When we choose words for a given context, the words must work with that particular context. For ques. 00# 1, if you must use “two hour drive”, then the sentence must be structured in a different context. Ex: To my parent’s house it’s a “two-hour drive”. Or, It’s a “two hour-drive to my parent’s house.02br
