@mystery-ak I answered them all correctly for a reason.
I graduated high school in 1951, started in 1941 (was skipped from grade 2 to grade 3). We had spelling classes every day in elementary school and tests every day to make sure you knew your spelling. In those days, English teachers were big bears and no one messed with them - you better learn it or something horrible might happen to you. This was a small school, not many people in a class. There were two English high school teachers. You were going to get both of them before you got out of school. One of them would go around the room and ask questions and she might call on you, so you studied and hoped she wouldn't ask you a question. She scared me. However, by the time I was a junior in high school, I was her secretary, would type what she needed and make copies for classes. I did that due to being in typing and bookkeeping classes. This teacher and another one, had me type their Master's thesis. I for sure knew how to type complicated pages with footnotes.
When I graduated, I signed up for college classes in the summer. Had to do a paper for the college English teacher and after turning it in, she spoke to me, asking how I knew to do all those footnotes at the bottom of the pages. I told her I had a bear for an English teacher.
Did you have to diagram sentences? I had to do that from mid-elementary all the way through regular college English classes. I ended up with a college minor in English.
Taking this test, one needed to know spelling of certain words that sounded alike, and know which words represented "we" or "I" - words representing singular or plural.
Does any school teach English anymore? Do they teach spelling?
Our state of Texas just passed a law requiring schools to teach cursive writing starting next year. We had cursive writing taught every day in elementary school. When did they stop teaching cursive? Kids today only know how to print letters individually. I was stunned a few years ago when I heard that. We have dumbed down schooling these days.
