I was waiting for the elimination challenge to end so that I could post them all together.
Results of Survivor Activity Second Chance
Qanda enters. "By popular vote,
hellyer has been chosen to re-enter the game. However, there is bad news (though most of you will find it good news
). Ziggy will have to go because he failed to send in his vote on time.
Hellyer has
re-entered the game. Ziggy is
eliminated.
Results of Elimination Challenge
NOTE: From here onwards, every person eliminated from the game will be added to the tribal jury. They will decide who is the winner when the game boils down to the last two people.
Valentine's day is over... and the only person left without a partner is Yesitish. He chose Matt, but unfortunately Matt chose to go with Twizzler0171.
Yesitish has been
eliminated. However, he is added to the tribal jury.
Results of Immunity Challenge
Apparently not of you were interested in Academics... the only two people who really attempted the questions were amarise and xjox. Matt's answer of 4.56 to all the questions doesn't count, nor does jellyoflight's answer which came in hours too late.
It was a close fight between xjox and amarise, but due to Question 6 xjox emerges as the winner of Immunity!
I won't bother posting the answers to Questions 1 to 3 since none of you really attempted it.
Question 5 Answer
All sentences are incorrect.
Quote:
The entire army was completely decimated by a nuclear bomb.
Decimated originally referred to killing one person in every ten. Now it can also be used to mean destroying a large part of a group; however it cannot be used to mean completely destroying something. Obliterate would be a better word here, and the "completely" is not needed.
Quote:
This invention is considerably more unique than the others submitted at the Science Fair.
Unique means one in a kind; therefore there is no such thing as something being "more unique" than the other.
Quote:
Irregardless of what you say, I will never trust you again.
Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. The correct word should be "regardless".
Quote:
We were astounded by the enormity of the blue whale.
Contrary to what many think, enormity actually means excessive wickedness or outrageousness. When referring to physical size the correct term is "enormousness".
Quote:
Even though his attentions towards her were spurned, he remained nonplussed.
"Nonplussed" means "filled with bewilderment". Its usage here does not fit the meaning of the sentence.
Question 6 Answer
In literary terms, a tragic hero refers to a literary character who makes an error of judgment or has a fatal flaw that, combined with fate and external forces, brings on a tragedy.
Therefore, contrary to popular belief, a character that dies a tragic death while trying to perform a noble or heroic deed does not make him a tragic hero.
I will not provide the answers for Question 4, 7 and 8 too since those who attempted it got them basically correct (and because I'm lazy
).
