Would have gotten number two right, but didn't know what was being asked until clicked the answer button. Need two colons (I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere) and better spacing to be able to communicate the terms property.
Said George Clinton for number three, which I stand by as being acceptable.

I got 1, 4 and 5 correct. I still don't understand the answer to #2 - I just don't know enough I guess. Who is Grant Wood?

Grant wood is the person who painted American gothic. Interestingly enough, the inspiration for the painting was Grant's sister and the dentist

I will keep that in mind. I don't post much....if I knew how to stack them in a column. I asked BBB to put the answers in spoiler tags, so hats off to her for doing that.. I would say clinton would be acceptable. JUst some interesting analogies for a rainy day. Thanks for the reply Tom
