Is # 2 A?

I think you're guessing!!

Read all sentences B and D aloud. You should be able to HEAR the error.

D then because B makes sense.
English - Writeacher, Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 3:43pm
Correct.

(What is "way" anyhow??)

Sorry that was a major typo, I meant well*

=)

OK!
English - anthony, Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 3:47pm
So the answer is still D then!?
English - Writeacher, Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 3:48pm
Yes. The word "good" should be there in place of "well" -- since you're not literally feeling something you can touch.
English - anthony, Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 3:50pm
oh okay, I was thinking it was C because "to that student" sounds awkward.
English - Writeacher, Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 3:51pm
Nope. A, B, and C are fine. The problem is in D.
English - anthony, Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 3:51pm
okay I'll let you know if it's right.
English - anthony, Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 4:25pm
#2 was C.

Is this an online course? That is an incorrect response -- and it's not your fault, but whoever is "teaching" this course is really messed up!!
