More questions on a/the and in
Hello,
Would you be so kind to give me some more advices on my writing.
When I explain that in some study they used some special groups of animals, do I need then every time use “the rats of the exposed group” or just rats of the exposed group” or “rats of exposed group”? Or, for example, the Chornobyl group of rats and the Kyiv groups (of rats) – can I omit the here somerimes?
What difference between “it” and “this”? For example, when I am describing a radiation background during the experiment, must I say in the next sentence: It was about 100 µR/h or This was…
“Along with a significant increase of mortality rate of young rats in the next generations, (the) body masses of one-month rats were reduced significantly.” Are prepositions correct here?
“A prevalence of chronic thyroiditis in (the) cohorts of affected people, both children and adults, was detected in Ukraine as well.”
“... lung cancer was the most frequent type of cancer in this cohort in this period of time (during this period).”
Thanks a lot, Thyme
