1. The correct answer is A, "Doug and me."

The correct way to write this sentence is, "Doug and I went to the concert, but we forgot our tickets and did not get to see the show."

We need to use "Doug and I." A helpful hint is to say the sentence with just "me" or "I" and see if it makes sense. It does not sound right to say, "Me went to the concert." Therefore, "me" is incorect. However, it does sound right to say, "I went to the concert," which is why the sentence should start with "Doug and I."

2. The correct answer is C, "is."

In this case, we need to make sure our plurals are correct. We are talking about the details, so "is" should be "are." If we remove "in the house" from the sentence it makes it easier to see. The sentence should read, "The many architectural details in the house are what makes it so special."

3. The correct answer is D, "not tree-lined."

We should not hypen tree lined. We would use a hyphen if it came before a noun it modified (tree-lined street), but since it does not, we shouldn't use the hyphen.

the answer is irony!

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
