Is this okay, or should it always be "we will plan for such a study to be performed"?

@CowperKettle "such a study" sounds a little awkward right after "such data" but I don't have a better suggestion. Maybe "We don't have such data at the moment, so we will plan a study to collect it."

Yeah, I felt such sounded a little unnatural, but you can definitely plan a study.

Strangely, it measures nothing. It stores gas.

> his = its and refers to the money which the unthrift spends. its as possessive pronoun was not used by the Elizabethans.
Interesting.
> Look what an unthrift in the world doth spend
Shifts but his place, for still the world enjoys it;
Its was not used in 1600 AD

@M.A.R. @Man_From_India @skullpatrol @snailplane Hi I have a question, I think the answer is fine but not sure so I need your help.

C. Israt had suggested to Irfat to go to Puri for a change.
D. Israt proposed to Irfat that they should go to Puri for a change

Answer: Option D

Try reading it as: Let us go to Puri instead, for a change.

"Let's" is an abbreviation for "Let us"
So that means they should go...
Also, it is more of a "proposal" than a "suggestion."
