REAL ANSWERS
Oh, my!!
Be careful of these lists of answers without explanations. Sometimes kids deliberately post wrong answers. Sometimes teachers and/or test publishers mix the questions and answer choices up. Sometimes they change them completely!
Be aware!
Are you guys in con-nexus because I used ugh's answers and I got 10/15.
This test has different questions to deter cheating.
OKAY OBVIOUSLY THE TEACHERS KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN SO THEY OBVIOUSLY GAVE EVERY 5-10 KIDS DIFFERENT ANSWERS AND IF YOU ANSWERED WITH ONE OF THE OTHERS KIDS FULL ANSWERS THEY WOULD KNOW YOUR CHEATING SO I GUESS ITS EVERY STUDENT FOR THEMSELVES!!! GOOD LUCK
oh my god really? I never meant to give you guys the wrong answers, I got them all right some how. I'll go check my answers.
@ANSWERS is right. But for me, some questions have changed. All of @ANSWERS answers are right but the ones that changed here they are.
11. A) After
13. A) David
16. D) Folding
btw, i'm not saying @ANSWERS are wrong, they just changed 11, 13, and 16's question so all of @ANSWERS are 100% right but 11, 13, and 16's questions changed so this is just an updated version.
