It would help if you provided the remainder of the sentence. I'm not trying to pun here intentionally, but context is often the key for grammar.

I believe the first choice ("has autobiographical context") to be best if your point is merely that there is autobiographical context present. However, if you wish to demonstrate in your essay that there is autobiographical context present and contradict that assertion with something along the lines of "however, but, yet, etc." followed by reasons why there is no such autobiographical context present, then I would consider the second choice ("some autobiographical context") as an appropriate choice.

I would not choose the third option, but that's not because it's flat out grammatically incorrect. Again, without any context, it's difficult to give you the correct answer to your question.

Good luck. Most of the time English professors/teachers don't catch a single error as long as the rest of the work is error-free. Although, there's always that one robot-like teacher who never misses a crossed T or dotted I. Make sure that your opening is flawless, and errors in the body of your text aren't as noticeable. I can tell you from my own experience grading papers that when there's a glaring error in the first paragraph, I start to tear the thing apart looking for problems. It's not because I'm mean, but because I haven't yet gotten into the flow of the argument. Once a grader is into the flow of the piece, then grammatical errors aren't quite so glaring.

All three are correct, but it depends on the amount of autobiographical context.

The first one implies that most, if not all, is autobiographical.
The second implies some, but no more than half, of the context is autobiographical.
The third implies there's only one part of something that has autobiographical context.

i think the third one is more correct than the others cos u have (an) which is used before the vowel letter (a), but if i were the teacher i would accept any one of them.

I'm guessing at the second one. It sounds better

2007-02-25 04:25:44 · answer #9 · answered by summahh07 1 · 0 0

It should be "content," not "context." Otherwise any could be correct.
