*I'm pretty sure that #13 is technically B, but I HATE when people put "an" in front of "h" words, so I'm boldly going with A!
In other news, grammar tests are stressful.

Nice grammar quiz! If you or your readers want an additional challenge, check out www.boohersrules.com for a 25-question online grammar assessment.
It doesn't have the option of happy faces and stickers, but I suppose you could print out your score and put it on the refrigerator.
Wahoo! Rachel scored my test and I'm not a total dumbie!! Hooray for good news on Friday. And I had pie for dessert! I hope tomorrow knows that it has a lot to live up to.
I object to the lack of questions involving lie vs. lay and good vs. well. (Mainly because those are the rules I know really good - haha. A little grammar joke. Yes, I'm a dork).
