Tested my skills and failed.

I took the test on www.hsj.org and totally bombed it. I got 3 out of 5 correct, which is a 60%. Here are the ones I missed.

"Amount" should be "number." Use "amount" for things that can't be counted. Example: A large amount of flour.

In the first sentence, "miner" should be "minor." In the second, "youngest" should be "younger" because there are fewer than three frogs.
