It's B! It's B right? I just know it's B.
Oh yeah, I see you say it is B :)
What a lot of knitting you have been doing. What a nice gift in the crochet shawl. I wish I could crochet.
Hope the Teen gets into the college of choice. Tough going these days. My nephew is in grad school in Hong Kong and now very worried about finding a job when he graduates. What a currently crummy world.

I got it right! I clicked on B in your post and it sent me to the SAT website where the correct answer was explained. That, of course, made no sense to me, but at least I was able to identify the correct answer. All of this makes me paranoid about the many, many grammatical errors which I am sure are littering my blog. Oh well. It's all about yarn, right?
