en su mayoría fueron resueltos en una reunión preliminar Explanation: My reading: HTH. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2007-11-02 16:36:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I note that my reading seems to differ quite a lot from the rest: dispose of does indeed mean to eliminate things such as waste etc., but in this context it means to deal with, as in this example: "The basic reason for having any standard procedure is to dispose of the business before the assembly as quickly, efficiently, and justly as possible" http://www.middlesexcc.edu/sa/control.cfm/ID/1625 |
