peer agreement (net): +5the great unknown Explanation: seems straightforward -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 48 mins (2008-11-19 12:44:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- All posted answers are right. It depends on the context, without that, we don't know. Some future event where nobody knows how it will end up is "a big unknown" with indefinite article "a". "The great unknown" would be a metaphor for something like this - "The Great Unknown - the World Economy in Five Years". |
