1. The story of Mr. Fleming saving Sir Winston Churchill from a swamp/bog is not true. While Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin, did save many lives with his creation of the antibiotic, there is no historical account of him saving Churchill from such a situation.
To verify the accuracy of historical events, it is recommended to consult reliable sources, such as books, academic journals, or reputable websites that specialize in history. These sources often provide well-researched information and citations to support their claims.
2. Both answers "It's penicillin" and "It was penicillin" can be grammatically correct, depending on the context of the sentence.
"It's penicillin" is present tense, which implies that penicillin is currently the solution for saving Winston Churchill.
"It was penicillin" is past tense, suggesting that penicillin played a crucial role in saving Churchill's life at some point in the past.
The choice between these two options depends on the desired tense and context of the statement.
3. The correct form is "Sir Winston Churchill."
While "Sir Churchill" and "Sir Winston" may be used informally when referring to the renowned British politician and statesman, the complete and proper form is "Sir Winston Churchill." Including his full name acknowledges his full title and respects the traditional naming conventions.
4. The correct preposition to use is "from."
The accurate sentence would be: "He graduated from a medical school at Harvard University."
Using the preposition "from" indicates that he completed his medical studies at the medical school associated with Harvard University. It signifies the location where the graduation occurred.
On the other hand, the sentence "He graduated from a medical school in Harvard University" would imply that the medical school is physically located within the premises of Harvard University, which is not typically how universities are structured.
