002a,b, or c. The test makers probably want b, but I could be wrong.02br

0Calif, I'm sorry but I don't quite understand your explanation about difference. As far as I know, something I've learned from this forum, difference though strictly speaking should only compare between two things, it's extendable to more than 2 like the difference between X, Y and Z. I can do a search and provide the link to the thread if that's needed.02br
