Problems with US Education (I)
ATTENZIONE. E' necessario trovare la risposta esatta di ogni singolo quesito, altrimenti il programma non invierà il risultato al docente. In caso di risposta errata a un quesito, riprovate fino a che trovate quella giusta. Se fate tutto cliccando a caso sulle risposte, il voto inviato al docente sarà conseguentemente molto basso...
