Please could you take a look? Thanks.

Task 25.10, option 1, task 3, requires that there be "a word in the title or subtitle containing both letters F and B." It doesn't work just to have an F and a B in the title.

Hi Sandy, I'm sorry - I posted with the link to the wrong version of the book. I have just reposted the task using the link to the paperback version, which is also 120 pages.
Sandy wrote: "Amy B post 3180Such a Fun Age won't work for 25.13, option 1. The title initials are SAFA, and there is only one A in Dog Days of Summer."
Hi Sandy, usually when a task requires that a letter only be used as often as it is found in the phrase, it stipulates this. For this task, the direction was, "Option 1: Read a book with at least three words in the title where the first letter of each word is in DOG DAYS OF SUMMER." My letters SAFA are found in that phrase, though I am using the same A twice - it seems like this is allowed. If I'm interpreting this incorrectly, let me know and I'll claim the book for another task. Thank you - it must be crazy keeping track of all of this.

Sorry, the standard rule is that letters can be used only as often as they appear. Unfortunately, many times the standard rule has to be repeated in tasks over and over, but that doesn't mean they don't exist otherwise.

So sorry! That was supposed to be 20.4; I've reposted.
