No-one ever says "Addio" in English. Bizarre. Also, "data" is the PLURAL of "datum"; if it's a quiz about being correct, then it should be "the data show", regardless of common, incorrect, usage. Superseded and supersede are both correct (the former being the past tense of the latter). She could sing better at the concert too (if she sang worse in rehearsal). Not good for a quiz on precise language!! Quite why identifying modes of transport is relevant to this, I'm not sure.
'Quite why identifying modes of transport *is* relevant'. That's Muphry's* Law in operation. *Muphry's Law: when correcting or criticising grammar one is almost certain to make a mistake of one's own. Why 'Muphry's'? Because it's Murphy's, only spelt incorrectly.

And the "you've just failed a big test" question... how is "don't worry" similar to "keep going"? Sorry, but no. Edit to the edit: This is a quiz about getting the right English term. *Spouts off phrases that aren't in English*" Sorry not sorry; but if I was on the fence about this quiz sucking I'm definitely on board the 'it sucks' train now.
As it should! What's wrong with getting things right? Edit: One could say either don't know or keep going - the point of that question is that Carpe Diem is the wrong thing to say.
