On 22 you forgot to add space between the 2 and the (    [8|]

I thought only 72% was required to pass.  I think you only missed three other ones besides #22...  that's about 84%!  [I think [:-]]

I actually DID see a college student answer a question about where in the Lascaux caves we would find paintings with:

"on the inside."



Another student, on a multiple choice question asking about why the discovery of the Rosetta Stone was important, chose:

"this type of stone was much easier to carve than earlier types of stone, and so revolutionized the history of sculpture."


A third student, concerned about the environment, wrote an essay about why we should ban "arousal" sprays.


But my favorite is the student writing about Shelley's poem "Ozymandias," about a fallen monument in a desert:

"Ozymandias was once a great king, and when he was fully erect, he was a force to be reckoned with. But now he's laying pieces about the desert."
