Look at the directions at the top of the page while I read them.” (Examiner.—Read slowly.) “The words _a eats cow grass_ in that order are mixed up and don’t make a sentence; but they would make a sentence if put in the right order: _a cow eats grass_, and this statement is true. “Again, the words _horses feathers have all_ would make a sentence if put in the order _all horses have feathers_, but this statement is false. “Below are 24 mixed-up sentences. Some of them are true and some are false. When I say ‘go,’ take these sentences one at a time. Think what each _would_ say if the words were straightened out, but don’t write them yourself. Then, if what it would say is true draw a line under the word ‘true’; if what it would say is false, draw a line under the word ‘false.’ If you cannot be sure, guess. The two samples are already marked as they should be. Begin with No. 1 and work right down the page until time is called. ‘Ready—Go!’” After 2 minutes, say “Stop! Turn over the page to Test 6.”
