Owen's daily English question. (Day 1)
Nota Bene:
Please do not translate. This is a question.
Hi folks, I'm Owen. Rather than providing some passages, which they themselves may contain mistakes already, I am dropping down some questions here.
It's simple. Every day, when I am in the mood, I will be providing a few questions. The quiz will last a whole day, and at the end of the day I will award the person with most correct answers with points. In the event of a draw between some replies, I will be awarding the person who first replied with those correct answers.
Anyhow, I shall stop wasting your time and get on with the questions.
