Reference

Are both these sentences correct, and do they mean the same:



a) "The article makes no reference to Europe."


b) The article bears no reference to Europe."

  

Top answer

" "bears no" is followed by "resemblance". If two things look completely different, we say that the one thing bears no resemblance to the other. Ex: Mandarin bears no resemblance to any language I've ever studied.
