Alanna Castillo · Answer 1

C and D. If there are, say, 10 questions on a quiz, and you get 6 right, that means you got 4 wrong. If you got 7 right, you got 3 wrong, etc. The same goes for the flower garden

Dominic Sloan · Answer 2

The answers are C and D. C because the more answers you get correct, the less you can get incorrect. D because if a whole lot of dogs walk through a garden the damage to the flowers is likely to be massive!
