Would that be the same as 56 ÷ 7 ? (says she, hoping not to make a fool of herself)

Even better if they can explain it in a sentence with a fronted adverbial and, possibly, a relevant relative clause.

Extra marks will be given if the answer is in the passive voice or shows mastery of the subjunctive.

But surely you want to be judged as ready for Secondary School, Purple Duck?

You are obviously familiar with these terms?!

Yup!

Nice try, I see what you did there!

Thanks, yoyo123 :D
