The Second Act: Clauses and Articles

1)

Article A:
Which section did you and your roommate both have the most disagreement about and why?

We disagreed a lot on the Kitchen and Common Room List section. We did not know what to bring
and sometimes, I wanted something that he did not want, so I think that it was the longest section for
us.
Article B:
Which section did you and your roommate have the least disagreement about and why?
We agreed really fast on where we are going to live, because we both wanted a place that was
already furnished and that had a good location.
