    goddamn, those sentences are awful. i dont know whether its because they are from an US-american english text rather than a british one or whether its the authors way oft writing, but judging reading comprehension with this is nuts.

      I’m an American born and raised. I couldn’t get that sentence in a paragraph question to save my life.

      I feel like it would have been better to let AI write it as the passage would benefit from using some em dashes. It’s so poorly written.
