7/10. I was unsure of a couple that could have gone either way.Scott
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

I got 8 out of 10, and I know grammar like the back of my hand. Two of those questions were wrong. It's not "wrong" to use "off of" even though common usage drops the of. That's brainless. I can't believe they printed that. Also, since when does a comma come after e.g.? I got that right, but the question is wrong.
I missed do with a does.

I used "off of", i.e. instead of e.g., and the do/does one. Buncha bs.Scott

Originally posted by GodOfRhythm9/10 got 'Off of' wrong, because in Dutch we say 'doe uw voeten VAN tafel AF'. Which is basically the same, translated.
doe uw voeten VAN tafel af
Put your feet from table off
