Re: More Question Feedback
Thanks. I thought I heard that "cives ends in is" or something in this case, which caused me to buzz with genitive, but it is entirely possible I misheard. It seemed like the MLB stadiums bonus and NBA coaches bonus were written to a different standard of difficulty. Maybe it's because I o...
