I did exactly the same with the insure ensure question so I counted it as correct because I misread the heading and I do know the difference !

I expected to get full marks, but the first time it said 15/16. I think it must have been that I picked the wrong answer when I should have picked the right one. I did it again, more carefully, and got the 16/16 I expected. I know my grammar.

The quiz is under Latest on GN ie the advertisements down the side on the right.

I don't know what the quiz is but I've just heard a very intelligent young woman this morning say the dreaded 'a' word - arks!! Arks are for carrying animals not what you mean when asking a question!!

Have you done the quiz?
I will boastfully say that I got all 16 questions correct. DH got 15 but DS in his forties scored only 7.He is highly intelligent and has a well paid job but it just reflects the era of his education.No formal grammar was taught in his school.He wishes it had been.
