Grammar Question #2


Can someone advise as to which question number it was? I believe it was question # 97. I'm considering protesting this question. I picked "alot" knowing it should have been spelt "a lot". But there's no way in hell you could tell me choice C was the most grammatical sentence with all the double spaced words.

Don't bother protesting you are wrong. I guess you went to some ghetto inner city school.

Jimbo,  what the hell is your problem??  You made about 15 different posts on this board concerning questions you had a problem with.  STFU already.

Ok thanks for the smart ass reply but the point I was trying to make is that there wasn't a correct answer available to choose from. I knew choice b and d were incorrect but I picked choice A just for the simple fact that choice c had to many spaces in between words

Anyone else find it ironic that grammar is spelled wrong in the topic? Not trying to be a dick, I just genuinely found it amusing.

So I take it that I'm the only one who feels this question is worth a protest.

I keep hearing different rumors about how many questions could be protested. Last i heard a key instructor said their were 5 questions that had double answers. Dont know if thats accurate or not.

I don't think the question is worth a protest.  Department was capitalized.

Alot is two words.  Then should of been than.  A question like this should not

be on the sergeant test to begin with.  That is what should be protested.

A buddy also told me that in choice D the word stationary was spelled wrong, the right way to spell it is either ending ary or ery.  I havent bothered to look.

well thats why i feel its a valid protest. You cant sit there and tell me choice C was grammatically correct with all the spaces in between words
