Erm what is the answer for s & t qn 67 i think .
What puzzled the detective __________________________. -
I dont think date is needed as that is an informal email and date is only required in formal letter and do not need to write ‘Re:’ . I’m not confirmed , this is based on what my teacher told me . She said ‘Re:’ is no longer needed as the format has changed .

I wrote What puzzled the detective were the sudden disappearances of the witnesses . But most of my friends wrote 'What puzzled the detective was the sudden disappearance of the witnesses .'

DS said the same -- for informal email go straight to Dear xxx. His teacher said \"Re\" and \"date\" are not required. -

Shouldn't the transformation be from past perfect to present perfect ?
Questions like permutating deceiving to deceptive; transforming past perfect in the S&T to simple past; collocating pain with pronounced, etc... are all rather tricky... SEAB seems to be upping the ante... -
Could anyone explain why the pain is pronounced and not substantial ? I searched the dictionary but still could not understand .

Substantial means enough to support while pronounced means strongly marked -

Its a little like reverse engineering.

For example.
Question; Jane asked David, \"Did you do your homework?\" (Simple Past)
Ans: Jane asked David if he had done his homework. (Past Perfect)
So if we reverse the question:
Jane asked David if he had done his homework (Past Perfect)
Jane asked David, \"Have you done your homework?\" (Present perfect - very awkward tense to use without context.)
Jane asked David, \"Did you do your homework?\" (Simple Past - a better choice for answer.)
