logical moves to the head of the class.

(Steve may use the edit button or choose to be retested in another thread.)

F150Europe,

"is" implies a correct answer.
"are" implies more than one correct answer.

(Hint)
Edit your original post removing two of the choices leaving only two.

This will return the luster to our esteemed webmaster and make logical the hick.

No, I didn't start that one. Most of the time I can resist the rant, but as long as I didn't start this one, I figured I'd put in my $.02 worth.

I own a Ford truck, too.
Hmm, does not the placement of the too at the end of the sentence imply that the speaker owns a Ford truck in addition to something else?

Raoul: Say, Bob, I didn't know that this camel is your only form of transportation.

Bob: Raoul, you are correct. I own a Ford truck, too.

Depends. Hard to tell when there is no context. He might be saying that, like others, he is a Ford truck owner or he might be be saying that in addition to other things, he owns a Ford truck.

Oops...

sorry! BTW, only three suspension points. The 4th implies a period, thus the end of the sentence.

F150Europe,

your'n = 'yours'
(best to say 'yours' to the bourgeois)
