comment “in every respect” vs “in every aspect”
@TurtlePowered Can you provide some examples where 'in every aspect' is appropriate to use? Or better, if you could modify sentence above so it would be possible to see difference in context.

comment “in every respect” vs “in every aspect”
Well, I still don't understand how to choose between 'in every aspect' and 'in every respect'. I see a lot of usage of these phrases in google and with aspect it is used twice as often as with respect.

comment “in every respect” vs “in every aspect”
I'm bit confused. I see following definitions for aspect on dictionary.com: 2) nature; quality; character 5) part; feature; phase . For me they seem to be close to my interpretation of word aspect. Can we say "from the aspect of style" or "from the aspect of grammar"?

comment Questions in indirect speech and verb tense change
@BarrieEngland, I have 3rd Edition first published 2004. I've read both units about reported speech and I understand that using past tense is safer and present tense is optional. I just need to know whether my specific answers were acceptable or not.

@GEdgar, you can find the text from which this sentence is from by googling the whole sentence. It is wide spread over Russian English learning sites. My teacher just printed it out.

@JLG thanks for explanation. I'm more worried about correctness of this sentence than its meaning because I encountered this sentence in learning text given to me for reading.
