I have no way of telling what here is deliberately deficient syntax, and what is intentional for the purpose of the quiz. If the sentence is purported to be perfect English, then I have your answer. On the other hand, even supposing a Mugger is a sometime student of the English Language, it doesn't necessarily follow that every textual utterance of that person is better an what any ovver bloke would make it - aren't it? I trust I make myself sufficiently obscure. I look forward to being bowled over by the eventual revelation - an I can hardlie weight. PS. Indulge me please. You have no idea what terrific therapy this is for me. I have to go now, my pet mongoose Lizzie is demanding attention - and her unanswered demands tend to get more and more bloody. I'm not half the person I used to be (by body-weight).
