00:04

by monarchs Without them there would be well on our

00:08

way All right check the following passage If you haven't

00:13

rave like humpy time The footnotes most clarify which of

00:32

the following topics and hear the potential answers Wait a

00:39

minute You mean we actually have to pay attention All

00:42

that stuff in the italics at the end we thought

00:44

this was just decoration Sorry Well if you see footnotes

00:47

after a passenger on the test you can bet there's

00:49

going to be at least one question about on a

00:51
