Guys, I have an it/that question.

A: What can I do to meet her?

B: You'd have to throw money at her to meet her.

C: It's hard to do so/that/it even if you do that/it.

I thought of a situation where three persons are having this conversion, and I can't seem to determine which one of those words in blue I should use.

Please help me. I'd greatly appreciate any help! Thanks!Big Smile [:D]

Hi,

Guys, I have an it/that question.

B: You'd have to throw money at her to meet her.

C: It's hard to do so/that/it even if you do that/it.

I thought of a situation where three persons are having this conversion, and I can't seem to determine which one of those words in blue I should use.

I wouldn't say any of these choices is definitely wrong. There are certainly style considerations, and concerns about repetition of words.

I prefer It's hard to do that even if you do (it).

Best wishes, Clive
