R Yancey, that would be alternative not alternate
R Yancey
Question number one has two correct answers. Every other, or every second was indicated as correct but Available as another possibility or choice is also valid. As in alternate route.

8/9. Still some iffy questions. I think that I must have remembered them from a previous attempt!

Some dodgy answers- a poor quiz.

Answer ambiguity left room for dispute with admin!

I don't agree with #1. It could refer to two of the three choices.

I don't agree with #7. We all probably got it wrong. Enormity refers to the size of something, right?
JRW
Enormity as defined in the Oxford dictionary "the great or extreme scale, seriousness, or extent of something perceived as bad or morally wrong."
So large size IS correct. Excessive wickedness merely uses a narrow part of the definition, and is thus less correct.
JRW
Liz Hamilton, no. But it can be one of two.

6 / 9. I still don’t agree with your definition of enormity!
Liz Hamilton
Alternate could be two of the three choices.
Georgia Kemp
I knew enormity had nothing to do with size but evil. Got 8/9.
Clara Arbiser
Enormity's definition is wrong. Does not have anything to do with evil

8 / 9. I don’t agree with your definition of enormity though!

lenoralange, 6 is correct. "Intensive" is a mispronunciation of "Intents and."
