Doing these questions will help you practice your ability to use words more precisely, aka better refer to the things you want them to refer to. Key things:
- The “right answer” is not as important as the process of doing them.
- The questions get harder. ‘Hard’ = longer time needed for a good answer.
- If you put your suggestions as a comment I will read them anonymously.
