15.1 - Cause Knowledge is Power!

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

15.1 Cause Knowledge is Power!: Schoolhouse Rock debuted on American television on January 6, 1973.
Read TWO books choosing from 2 different options from categories A-D
A. Conjunction Junction: Read a book with a title or subtitle that contains a coordinating conjunction: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.
B. Unpack Your Adjectives- Read a book with a superlative adjective in the title/subtitle: Best, Worst, Biggest, "Most + adjective", etc.
C. Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla- Read a book with a pronoun in the title/subtitle *note the use of "most"
D. Interjections!- So when you're happy (Hurray!) or sad (Aw!) Read a book whose title begins with an interjection or has an exclamation point in the title or subtitle.
Darn! That's the end!

OR

ONE book that fits two of the categories above.ex. Boom!: Voices of the Sixties Personal Reflections and Lessons for Today option D- Boom! and option A "and"; Why She Buys: The New Strategy for Reaching the World's Most Powerful Consumers options B and C; Yeah, I Said It options C and D

Required: Please state the options you chose when you post

A. Ampersands (&) work as "and"

B. superlative adjectives- from "English the Easy Way" Superlative adjectives are used to compare at least 3 things or 3 groups of things. When we want to state that something is at the highest or the lowest degree, then we use superlative adjectives. Superlative adjectives state that something is the most, there can't be any more or that something is the least, there can't be any less.
stupidest

first, firstborn work for B
"all" is a numeral adjective pronoun not a superlative adjective


C. "your" is a possessive adjective that's not on the list, but It works along with "my"

Since my days of english class are long over I'm having some trouble actually understanding this task.

Is stupidest an superlative adjective? Basically, can I use The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror?

How about "&" instead of "and" for a conjunction:
The Way We Never Were: American Families & the Nostalgia Trap

Ampersands (&) work as "and"

yes, that works

Just want to double check (grammar was never my best subject): Then They Came for Me: A Family's Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival. I think it works for A (for) and C (me)?

Conjuction - for/and

That works
all- pron. The entire or total number, amount, or quantity; totality

It works

[Valorie]

I think this works for options B & C, but wanted to make sure...

His Darkest Hunger

His=Pronoun
Darkest=Superlative Adjective

Oops, I just seen it said coordinating conjunction, back to the drawing board :)

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

☆Rebecca G. wrote: "Will Kill Me If You Can work for A & C?"

"If" isn't a coordinating conjunction (it's subordinating). Option A requires "For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So"

Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There for A&C?

[BJ Rose]

So Scream for Me (book #8) would work for A & C?

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

BJ Rose wrote: "So Scream for Me (book #8) would work for A & C?"

I think "for" is used as a preposition in the title, but it's on the list so I'll take it

Series titles don't work unless they are specifically included in the task description- sorry, they are not included in this task

[Midu]

How about ?

They're not interjections, but you may use any title with "!" alternatively

God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales works for A, C, & D, right? So it would be all covered for the 1-book option? Thanks!

The title works, but this title is only available on audio. Without a written edition, this title can't be used for SRC tasks.

[Liora]

Sorry, I clicked on a wrong link. I know there is a print version because I have the paperback book right here. Let me try again.

That one works- "each other" is on the pronoun list and "&" = and

I should not be asking this question, but... Does "who" work as a pronoun in this title? Ophelia Joined the Group Maidens Who Don't Float: Classic Lit Signs on to Facebook?

"Who" is on the pronoun list, so it works for this task
