=TEST 5=
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 twenty-four 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 can not 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.
