Grammar Test B Answer 18

18. The liars lay on a mat of wildflowers like potatos au gratin, but they lied about lying on a rock that was covered with lichen and the shadows of the wrens.

Ans: 18. The liars lay on a mat of wildflowers like potatoes au gratin, but they lied about laying on a rock that was covered with lichen and the shadows of the wrens.


1) the plural of potato is "potatoes," not potatos. Who are you if you didn't get this? Dan Quayle?

2) laying should be lying because there is no object; therefore, the form of the verb "to lie" should be used.
