Hi, Allan.
When I had a quiz, I saw a sentence like this 'Each question is out of 18 marks for a total of 36 marks'.
I can guess the meaning but I don't understand the exact meaning 'out of' in this sentence.
Whenever I see the word 'out of', I always come up with the word 'outside'.
But I heard it's also used when we talk about 'score'.
so,please explain the exact meaning of 'out of' in this sentence.

And as for 'questioning strategies'(Lesson 5. Asking questions), you made a chart about strategies.
For 'A'(The teacher asks a question & lets her students call out an answer together) and the fifth question(Does it give lazy students a chance
not to answer?) You marked 'X'.
I understood 'v' means applicable and 'X' means not applicable.
I think under this strategy lazy students get a chance not to answer, so I thought 'v'.
But you marked 'X'. I want to know why.

Last question is about a quiz of module 3.
Question number 4. When explaining the meaning of a structure, all of the following methods would be a good,except:
Is it possible to put article 'a' before adjective('good')?

Thanks a lot.
Have a nice day!

Hi Ahran Kim,

To be honest, explaining the meaning of "out of" is kind of tough.  The formal explanation is "indicating the source or derivation of something; from".  The sentence you provided is kind of weird.  "Each question is out of 18 marks for a total of 36 marks" would mean that all questions are worth 18 marks, the total number of marks is 36.  This is strange because it would mean that there are only 2 questions, and the total mark for both of them is 36.  Where did you see this?

As far as the questioning strategies part is concerned, don't worry, many people get confused about this.  The "V" meant that it was positive, and the "X" meant that it was negative.  It is true that '[t]he teacher asks a question & lets her students call out an answer together' gives lazy students a chance not to answer, but this is negative (it has a bad effect) and that is why I gave it an "X".  They do not mean applicable and not applicable.  Does that make sense?

Lastly, thank you for pointing out that mistake.  I guess because I rarely look at the T/F and MC questions that unfortunately there might be a minor grammar error from time to time.  This sentence is incorrect, there should be no article; this has to be changed.

Anyhow, I hope that all makes sense and have a wonderful day!
