Hi,

Is this phrase- faintest possibility- meaningful?

It was not a concern for it was/is the faintest possibility.
  

Top answer

I usually hear the faintest idea but the faintest possibility seems ok to me. However you do need another negative verb in that sentence. It wasn't a concern because there wasn't the faintest possibility (of something happening).

Please tell whether this is all right.

It wasn't a concern for there was only a faintest possibility of his failing this test.
