Can we google? or is that cheating? I answered everything I could without... though I felt like I was cheating with the punctuation one -- I just looked at my keyboard.

How did I forget exclamation point, parenthesis, and ellipses? I am a bad English major.

1. Boxing

3. Rhubarb (I think)

 

This is much more fun than "real" homework" (BTW....my essay came back covered with little red marks.)

1. The one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends . . Boxing

2. North American landmark constantly moving backward . Niagara Falls (The rim is worn down about two and a half feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that rush over it every minute.)

3. Only two vegetables that can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons . . Asparagus and rhubarb.

4. The fruit with its seeds on the outside . . Strawberry.

5. How did the pear get inside the brandy bottle? It grew inside the bottle.

6. Three English words beginning with dw . Dwarf, dwell and dwindle.

7. Fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar . . Period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation marks, bracket s, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.

8. The only vegetable or fruit never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form but fresh Lettuce.

9. Six or more things you can wear on your feet beginning with "s" . Shoes, socks, sandals, sneakers, slippers, skis, skates, snowshoes, stockings, stilts.

WOW!  I got half of #3!  I be smart.

Answering these without looking at the replies...


1. Okay, I am not a sports fan so this is my edumacated guess...Boxing?

2. I have no clue...wild guess The Statue of Liberty?

3. Again guessing, potatoes and carrots?

4. I know this one! Strawberry!

5. My theory is that the ship in the bottle delivered the pears.

6. Hmm..Dwarf and Dweeb. First two that come to mind

7. period, comma, quotation marks, exclamation point, colon, semi-colon, parenthesis, points of elipses...

8. Hmm...how about a human vegetable? Oh that was bad. Can't think of any other.

9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter "S."

Sandals, socks, shoes, slippers, stilts, stilettos, stink..

Okay, gonna hit send and then go look at the answers to see how stoopid I am.

OK, see, I thought lettuce, but I have issues with the question. Technically, I would consider bagged salad to be "processed"; obviously they do not, though.
