    Shamefully easy. Those who don't get 100% should ask themselves what language they profess to speak.

    I fell like Don is really well at Grammer or he used a program or website to have verified his post is written good with Grammer.


    The quiz was easy. I was dissapointed there weren't any questions about adjectives with verbs or adverbs with nouns. There weren't any questions with something like "fewer items vs less items" or "fewer water vs less water". Also would have liked to see something like, "Hello, Mom....." vs "Hello, mom...."

    This ones for Don, a grammar quiz.

    The word "ones" should have been written as "one's" as in "This one is for Don." The apostrophe shows the noun as being possessive.

    Well, I appreciate the attempt. The result is correct, but the explanation is wrong. The apostrophe is not there because of a possessive; it's there because of a contraction. In this case, "one's" = "one is." The missing i is replaced by the apostrophe.
