most effectively challenge

0In a recent experiment, a high school English teacher interspersed real,commonly used proverbs with several nonsensical proverbial-sounding statements that he had made up. He then asked his students to evaluate all of the statements on the list. In general, the students found the bogus proverbs and the real proverbs to be equally full of wisdom and meaning,. The teacher concluded that proverbs attain their status as proverbs more through frequent usage than through their inherent wisdom.02br
