the appliance must be returned to the manufacturer if the link has reputed. simply wrong sentence Explanation: As 'reputed' is an attributive adjective only, so an adjective that can't be used on its own, predicatively, it should be followed by a noun. Anything could come after it, but something has to be there. The writer of the original forgot about finishing this sentence. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2014-06-05 22:13:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Of course, it could simply be a spelling mistake,but there's no telling what was misspelt, as I see it. Ruptured, or something like that seems logical, but very badly misspelt. Reference: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/repute?...
