Hi Nina-
Here are some answers:
1. Sir Wilfrid Laurier (Can. $5)
2. 2+3X4= 14 (order of operations is MDAS therefore 20 is incorrect)
3. Frosted flakes have ***FEWER*** calories than Cheerios.
4. Strap is to Parts as Tips is to SPIT (reverse letters)
5. The cube root of 729 is 9
6. The subjunctive is: "of, relating to, or constituting a verb form or set
of verb forms that represents a denoted act or state not as fact but as
contingent or possible or viewed emotionally (as with doubt or desire)"
Often considered the conditional future tense, e.g.. "If I WERE a
millionaire" not "If I WAS a millionaire:.
7. Two possibilities (among many):
"A woman! without her, man is nothing."
"A woman, without her man, is nothing."
8. Guernica
9. Africa.
10. Most spreadsheets e.g.. Excel.
Hope that helps,
-Don.
