Question from Slovak final state exam - English
Hi !
I would ask you about one question from my test.
Language in use - Word formation.
there was a sentence:
Our friendships are based on _________ . (rely)
So my answer was relying, however answers in key were reliability/reliance.
Is my answer a possibility? I think there can be a -ing form after the preposition.
Also, word form may be changed significantly. In previous sentence:
Those __________ individuals know they can count on us no matter what. (choose)
- was right answer chosen.
Thank you for help !
