WAS YOUR ASS SAVED?
SECTION 1: COMMUNICATION CONFUSION
Was your ass saved?
This is the way to find out! I’ve created a variety of tests that will help you determine if your booty was
indeed saved. How much of the section do you remember? Can you apply what you’ve just read? Have
you gotten rid of those bad English habits? This is also a great way to test how much of the information
has stayed with you a few weeks after reading my book. Feel free to test your ass anytime you like!
Each test has a different focus per chapter or group of chapters, and the answers are listed below each
test. I wouldn’t dream of denying you the immediate pleasure of finding out how much you’ve learned!
Feel free to go back to a particular chapter to get to know the material better if your ass wasn’t
completely saved. Keep trying. Your ass is worth it.
Ready? Yes. You. Are. Let’s go!
