Choose the grammatically correct sentence.

  • A.The report was useless to them because there was no needed information.
  • B.Since the report lacked needed information it would have not been useful to them.
  • C.Since the report did not contain the needed information it was not real useful to them.
  • D.Since the report lacked needed information it was of no use to them.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Since the report lacked needed information it was of no use to them.

Since gives the cause, lacked is a plain past tense, and was of no use is a correct idiom.

Why the others fail:

  • because there was no needed information - needed hangs without a reference.
  • it would have not been useful - a conditional where a statement of fact is needed, and the negative is misplaced.
  • it was not real useful - real is an adjective being used to modify another adjective; it should be really.
