Obviously (as a native) I got ten out of ten. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to let you take the quiz twice or I'd reproduce the questions for you, proofreader. I don't know why you can't see it. There should be a clickable link in that blank space. "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||
