Answer acronym:
Can children bring cold cucumbers back after class? 9Better cry before answering because bees buzz angily!

I can add this note now that my kids have all taken this quiz:
Not one of them asked what the sentence labeled "Answer acronym" meant.
No one noticed it contained the answer key! I was laughing on the inside because I remember a high school science teacher who was famous for "hiding" answer keys in plain sight. This reminds me of the quote,

"About 5% of the people in the world can't pay attention.
Another 5% can pay attention and do.
The remaining 90% can pay attention but don't."

This "Answer acronym" was included to help my readers (and me) check our answers. I typed in the number 9 to help me keep track of where I was as I graded the quizzes.
I found this quizz at a website page called: Bible Quizzes
