I did I just cannot find anything about this. I have 30 questions and I didn't know the answers to ONLY 2 of them. I think I've done pretty good, and it's okay for me to be stuck on only 2, well 1 now.
thank you .
B is not the answer.

Although I was just a child, I remember rationing during the war. Meat and coffee were rationed. We couldn't even buy butter so had to use margarine. Gasoline was rationed so we couldn't take many car trips.

I'm sure it's in your text or you would not be asked the question, but read the link I gave you.
And, yes, you are doing well if you answered 28 of 30 questions correctly! Ms. Sue gave you a second link. You'll find the answer. :)
