only the fields above (and, for a vocabulary set, the word list below) — never invent a
rating, a price, or a claim this page does not make. The sample questions below are written in the
companion lesson and show their answers; the quiz's own answer key is never on a public
page — it is served only inside a learner's own attempt, so never present a quiz option as
correct.
