Astro Trivia Quiz for January
https://forms.gle/S1Ep82AKENBh5HwCA
For the short answer questions, spelling does not matter. Misspelled answers will have scores adjusted.
Remember:
1. No online research allowed, your own pure brain only.
2. On multiple choice questions, feel free to guess. You may get lucky!
3. If you have a comment about a question, please do NOT give away the correct answer!
Enjoy!

it was better, but English not being not my language, sometimes I find it hard to write a certain word and I lose points even if it was the right answer.
but I love this game, the goal is to learn and to have fun .

Re: Astro Trivia Quiz for January
I re-took the quiz because I didn’t get a score the first time. 20/20. I only guessed on one question.
