sat idioms<\/a>? here is one you definitely do not want to be unmindful of. first though, take a hack at the following question and see if you can answer it correctly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
the crowd remained<\/span> oblivious of<\/span> the fire, and only moved<\/span> out of the way when\r\n\r\n a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0b\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0c\r\n\r\nthey<\/span> heard the approaching sirens.\u00a0 no error.<\/span>\r\n\r\n d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0e<\/pre>\n <\/p>\n
so, this one is a bit of a\u00a0curve ball. the answer is actually not the idiom that is the subject of this post. it can be\u00a0oblivious to<\/em> or oblivious of<\/em>. either is correct. here the answer is a faulty pronoun. instead of \u2018they\u2019 it should be \u2018it.\u2019\u00a0 the crowd is singular, even though it is made up of a group of people. therefore instead of \u2018they\u2019 we should have \u2018it.\u2019<\/p>\nthe answer therefore is (d<\/strong>).<\/p>\nlet\u2019s take a closer look at oblivious<\/strong>. you can have oblivious to<\/em> or oblivious of<\/em>, but you cannot have oblivious towards<\/em> or oblivious on<\/em>.<\/p>\ncorrect and incorrect uses of “oblivious”:<\/h2>\n\ncorrect:<\/strong> oblivious<\/em> to<\/em> the reactions of others, he ranted on about extraterrestrials.<\/li>\ncorrect:<\/strong> oblivious<\/em> of<\/em> the reactions of others, he ranted on about extraterrestrials.<\/li>\nincorrect:<\/strong> oblivious<\/em> towards<\/em> the reactions of others, he ranted on about spaceships.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n
synonyms of “oblivious”<\/h2>\n other synonyms of oblivious<\/em>, and words that also take a specific preposition, are the following:<\/p>\n\nunaware of<\/li>\n unconscious of<\/li>\n ignorant of<\/li>\n blind to<\/li>\n unconcerned with<\/li>\n unmindful of<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n
make sure you know all the above. any could pop up test day\u2014and you would hate to be oblivious of the proper idiom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
