Dear Ms Emma, thank you for your lesson about burglary. I am sorry, but I think I answered the third question correctly. Burglary is not a person, a criminal is one.

Of course, it’s a noun from Anglo-Latin ‘burglaria’.. I’ve made the same mistake!

MaTe

I agree. Question three has an incorrect correct answer. Burglary is not about a person. Did Emma make this error purposely for clickbait? ;)

Thank you, you’re right! The wrong answer was selected. I’ve fixed the quiz.

I thought that Canada was a great place to live. But it seems to me that in Belarus the criminality is less common phenomena than in Canada. Am I right?
