Can you do it? They should do a TV show about this.

So, I've spent the last hour trying to figure this out. CAN'T DO IT!

What do these 4 things have in common?

river, tree, college, science

Joke answers will be considered.

It's language arts.

Another example is -

Cork, feather, leaf, apple

I got that one.

Why don't you give us the answer to that one so we have a basis of comparison?

They all float.

I'm thinking it has something to do with branches

If I might be immodest for a moment, I'm typically really great at this sort of thing, but I'm befuddled ... I'm also raging pissed at something completely unrelated, so perhaps too many brain-cycles wasted on fuming at the moment.

Also, what the hell is "Language Arts"? Is that fancy talk for English class? Seriously; sounds to me like the sort of nonsense that would allow some asswipe to raise Ebonics or hillbilly gibberish to a level of 'cultural treasure'.

Back to the lesson at hand ... apologist makes a fine request ... give us an example or two, which might give us the mental inertia we need.

These are Pancakes. These trees are just the right height.... Lighten up Darko.

That's what they call English + literature, usually.

What was the answer to "Cork, feather, leaf, apple"? Removable parts of a whole (bottle, bird, tree, tree)?

EDIT: oh, they all float, duh

If you say so, then that's the answer. Still dopey - not you, the name ... skip it.

I kinda liked the whole "floats" thing .... don't they all float?

... very small rocks, churches ... A DUCK ...

That was my thought too but I couldn't make it work.

Back in District 23, we had English, reading, and spelling all under the umbrella of "language arts." I didn't really mind.

The branch thing seems kind of superficial. I mean, there are "branches" of science, I guess, but "branches" of college? Not really.

I could see someone arguing there are branches of college .... different disciplines (e.g., music, econ, language, biology, etc). And I suppose some colleges have other physical branches (e.g., UofI Chicago).

Are 5th graders expected to be cognizant of satellite campuses of universities? I just remember doing fractions.
