Chosen Answer:
Well, I know the answers, but for the sake of legal action, I don’t think it’s legal for me to give you answers to a test! You can google a lot of these, and use some common sense.
For example, if you have a question that said “If a blue house was blue, the pink house was pink, the white house was white, what color was the greenhouse?”
a) Green
b) Blue
c) Glass, although it’s not a color
d) Yellow
The answer would be c! Greenhouse doesn’t have a space, therefore it’s talking about plants. If I said “green house” then the answer would be green.
