Dear teachers:
The new paragraph [0075.1] added after paragraph [0075] discusses *in general terms* the features taken from Example 4.
a) Does "in general terms" here function as an adverb?
b) Rewrite: The new paragraph [0075.1] added after paragraph [0075] discusses the features taken from Example 4 *in general terms*. Does it sound more natural?
Thanks. |

Yes, it's an adverbial prepositional phrase that answers the question "discuss how?".

Both sound fine to me. |
