Image #2: None of us get everything right the first time! Although I have a hard copy of this book, the only online copy I could find often has pencil annotations and so I spend quite a lot of time on my old paint.net programme! Whoever wrote the answers a century ago was way off in the first sentence: “He was happy for Greece”, but why does the student think the word is ‘happy’? To be fair, all the other sentences are 100% correct and so 9/10 isn’t bad!
