Answer:

B) off course not

Explanation:

Almost all word processing programs come equipped with a tool for checking both spelling and grammar. ... An ordinary spell checker will find few or no errors in the above sentence. This is because spell checkers can only detect if words are spelled correctly, not if they are used correctly.

Below are just some of the dangers of relying on spell check:

Spell check cannot help you with some proper names, such as "Heston" or "Jolie."

Spell check will not detect the improper use of homonyms, such as "their" and "there."

Spell check may flag words as errors which are indeed correct.

Spell check does not always offer useful spelling suggestions for severely misspelled words.

For example, the following are some commonly misused words that standard spellcheckers will not catch:

advise/advice

loose/lose

passed/past

dessert/desert

weather/whether

then/than

site/sight/cite

Unfortunately, grammar checkers are similarly limited. They are, in fact, more limited than spell checkers. The limitations have nothing to do with technology or software, but rather are caused by the nature of grammar itself.

For example, a traditional grammar checker will detect no problems with the following passage.

"Marketing are bad for brand big and small. You Know What I am Saying? It is no wondering that advertisings are bad for company in America, Chicago and Germany. ... McDonald's and Coca Cola are good brand. ... Gates do good marketing job in Microsoft."

This is truly frightening considering that each of the sentences in the passage contains numerous grammatical errors!

Also, consider the following sentence:

"Thinking it was open, the door was really closed."

Grammar check will alert the writer that the main clause may contain a verb in the passive voice. But there is no passive voice here, just a thinking door.
