Instructions for reading the graded test: To read my embedded comments in older versions of Microsoft WORD, click “View” and “Comments” on the menu. In Word 2003 and after, click “View” and then “Print Layout View”. I highlighted [in green] words and phrases that contain obvious errors; ask me if you have trouble figuring out what the mistake is!
