Aha I'm sorry. I made a big mistake. Yes, the original sentence #6 is correct. The letter lead to the implication of industrialists in the share market scam. Here "implication" means "the fact of being involved". Is the sentence #5 wrong? Huum. I took this sentence to mean as "The headmaster suggested to raise the relief to the flood victims in the village and everyone appreciated it." Am I wrong

I am certain about one meaning of distinct which is 'certain'. You can refer to encarta dictionary .And thats why I dont think it should be wrong..
