Here is a copy of the test:
Choose the proper word in each of the following
sentences.
1. My mother sent me to the store to buy a (may,
can) of peas.
2. He is my friend because I (like, as) him.
3. My birthday is (May, Can) seventeenth.
4. You should never tell a (lay, lie).
5. They are in the backyard digging a (good, well).
Jenny didn’t think that question I should count because she didn’t like peas. Kathy didn’t think question 2 was fair because she didn’t have any friends and she didn’t like anybody. Deedee didn’t think question 3 was fair. “How am I supposed to know your birthday?” she asked Mrs. Jewls. So Mrs. Jewls decided to give credit for either answer on the first three questions. Then Leslie and Eric complained about that, so Mrs. Jewls gave credit for either answer on questions 4 and 5 as well.
Problem 32 Answer:
1. False; 2. False;ll3. True;ll4. False;ll5. True.
Here is copy of the test that was given:
1. What word has more letters, true or false?
2. What was the answer to question 1, true or false?
3. Which word rhymes with blue, true or false?
4. Which word rhymes with zalse, true or false?
5. Which word begins with the letter t, true or false?
Allison argued that question 4 shouldn’t count because zalse wasn’t a word. Mrs. Jewls explained that it didn’t have to be a word in order to rhyme with false. Allison agreed but pointed out that since it wasn’t a word, she didn’t know how it was pronounced. Even though it was spelled somewhat like false, it could have been pronounced like zoo. Mrs. Jewls had to admit she was right and gave her credit for question 4.

4. What should you do before each meal?
5. What should you do when you meet someone new?
