ON THE QUIZ PAGE:  Do not expect the "help" and "hint" buttons to work.  Don't be dismayed if you click "check" and are told your answer is INCORRECT or has only one word correct.  After you've written your answer (and pasted it into a text file to keep it), click "SHOW ANSWERS" to see a short discussion of the possibilities. 

More complete discussions are posted in the Workshop.  If you've read the Workshop posts, you'll be able to answer these questions, but if you really understood the Workshop posts, your answers will not match anything stored in this online quiz.  They will be wholly original answers.   This program does NOT submit your answers for scoring by our teachers.  You may, however,  choose to post your answers to the non-passworded, open Bulletin Boards of WorldCrafters-L and invite other students and teachers to comment. 

If there is a question you can't answer, you can hunt for the answer in the workshop. 

Always remember, "Writing is a Performing Art."   There are no "right" answers, only useful ones. 

Quizzes presented here were made on Half-Baked Software's excellent software.   Teachers check this site out.
