Grammar exercise problems.
choose the correct word.
1. As we begin/began/begun tabulating our data, we realized we could cross-tabulate. (I think is begin?)
2. Ask Jake or me/myself if our conclusions are bias-free. (I think is me because it's objective?)
3. choose the grammatically correct sentence.
a) I will add up all the salaries and divide by the total number of items, I will give you the mean be careful when interpreting the mean because it might be misleading.
b) I will add up all the salaries and divide by the total number of items. I will give you the mean, but be careful when interpreting the mean because it might be misleading.
c) I will add up all the salaries and divide by the total number of items, I will give you the mean, but be careful when interpreting the mean because it might be misleading.
I go for B because they can separate into two sentence. Don't know if I am correct.

2. Yes, it is me because it is the objective form. Use the trick of dropping the other name, in this case Jake, and it is clear...."Ask me...."

Precedence is the act or right of proceeding. example, Queen Elizabeth has precedence over Prince Charles because she is the reigning monarch and he is the heir to the throne. He takes precedence over Prince William, who is second in line to the throne.
Precedent is a decision or action t
