I __8__ my paper so that others couldn't see it. A 41 was not __9__ that you wanted your classmates to see. Finally, Mr Bales stood behind the desk and __10__ the class.

For years, I thought that was a harsh judgment. My mother was always that __16__. It didn't matter what the other kids did; it only mattered what I did and __17__ I did it excellently.
