Today's quiz has five sentences. You will choose the better of two choices given in the sentences. Have fun and leave a comment.

By the way, not everything on the Triangle Grammar Guide quiz or on the blog is about grammar. "Grammar" is my shorthand for all the language problems that come up.

Click here or on the question mark icon to begin. Have fun.

[P.S. added Monday morning: Take a look at the comments for a dissent and an answer.]
