The sample is divided into seven branches. In each branch there are elements of the same type.

I must tell you a few words about branch number 4, because it is easy to get the wrong idea. In branch 4, the questions are of the form: "What is a _______?". The answer field contains a definition. Mind you, it is not important to give the same definition. You can give no definition and still pass the item correctly. The correct answer is to think to oneself what the word means. The provided definition is there so you can verify if your idea matches the proper meaning. You do not need to memorize the definition!

I will also explain branch number 5 because it contains rather unusual elements. The question field contains a full English sentence. It contains no direct question. The sentence contains one word or phrase which I considered interesting or difficult. The "question" is to understand the sentence. If you can understand the sentence, then you pass the element correctly. The answer field contains an explanation of the difficult part. But mind you, you do not have to memorize the explanation! You only need to understand the interesting sentence.

My demo English SM collection named MRW_English_sample is published on Antimoon - all the 60 items on one page: http://www.antimoon.com/how/smcoll_mrw.htm.
