Vocabulary/Grammar Quiz (36 points possible)
Use a separate sheet of paper. Make an extra credit box, and record any extra credit you may have earned this week. If you are exempt, write "exempt", and then do #16 only. For the True/False questions, write "True" if the statement is true; if the statement is false, write "False" and then tell why it is false. As always there are mistakes to find and fix for extra credit. You will not use all the words, yet you may use some more than once.
