How
well did you do on the test? Hope
all your answers were correct.
For
the last three lessons the multiple-choice
items were based on specific topics
from your syllabus. Each lesson focused
on just one topic. In today's lesson,
I have sourced a mix of items. Of
course, this is more in keeping with
the structure of your examination
paper. I cannot overemphasise that
you should read each item carefully
before attempting to select the answer
(the KEY). Remember, no guess work.

of Gros Islet, St Lucia.
