    #19 challenge to the definition. 'known' can be both present and past tense. "He was formally known' and 'Formely known" BOTH make sense unless you CLEARLY establish a time.

    I was going to point out that ambiguity as well. Both can fit unless or until more context is given.

    #13: the book was comprised of short stories. {Comprised: verb. past tense: comprised; past participle: comprised consist of; be made up of} "the country comprises twenty states" #15: One word or the other would be used. It would be superfluous to use both in one sentence. #19: Either word would be correct, depending on context. Who writes this stuff?

    I asked Dr Google for what 'comprised of' meant in UK English - it quoted the Merriam Webster dictionary which is a friggin US publication.

    Farther means more far, it refers to distance. This helps remember the difference. Further means deeper in, as I will look into it further.
