Asking that question is like opening a can of worms.

Asking that question is like opening a can of pop. :)

Asking that question is like opening a can of Pepsi.

erm.......only if the pop/pepsi is shaken up :rolleyes:

Jonno :cool:

LOL. The last question asks: What's missing from this sentence?

Its all over now


Answers

1. Comma
2. Apostrophe
3. Hyphen
4. Question Mark


While 2 does seem like the correct answer, there still remains the fact that a period is missing to make this a complete sentence.

I got 18/20 right, missed the first question and I couldn't recall the definition of avarice.

17/20 but i was robbed

should've been 18
