How good is your English?

10 out of 10 --WOW, Answers

Norm Thompson, It is not required upon, it is required. Plus, and is missing in the sentence about the man wearing shorts in October. Or, it's should be replaced with in. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Helga U. Williams, Yes, the seatbelts are either required or called for in a dangerous accident, not called upon, as if they were a person responding to a call. Also, did you notice that Sentence #6 is also lacking an and, or the it's should be in? Doesn't it strike you as strange that IN the middle of October he's wearing shorts? Or, doesn't it strike you as strange that it's the middle of October AND he's wearing shorts? Thank you, Christine, James' wife

vudu, I do not agree. #6 should replace it's with in or add an and. Original -- Doesn't it strike you as strange that it's the middle of October he's wearing shorts? Correction 1 -- Doesn't it strike you as strange that in the middle of October he's wearing shorts? Correction 2 -- Doesn't it strike you as strange that it's the middle of October and he's wearing shorts? In addition, air bags are not called upon. They might be called for in a given situation. It is also possible to replace called upon with required, "when required they must operate perfectly." Called upon uses personification, giving the air bags a chance to respond, as if they were a human responding to a request. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Laura Engdahl, Maybe, the author was thinking, called FOR? Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Laura Engdahl, I thought that required should replace called upon, as well, "but when required, they must operate perfectly." The word that fit in the blank was called, but the sentence was not worded correctly. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Alejo Planchart, The expression Americans use is that an idea struck them as odd. We use hit when we mean being introduced to a certain reality. Maybe, the man in the shorts would say that the idea to wear pants in March only hit him after he left the house and was too cold. Sentence 6 is missing an and. Doesn't it strike you as strange that it's the middle of October and he's wearing shorts?
