Sorry I scanned copies for answers twice but I have no scans for the photocopies I
handed out in class. You can pick them up after the Carnival break in class.
A student pointed out to me that the answers to the photocopy handed out in class
on Wednesday 3rd February didn't exactly match the answers. That happened
because I scaned the answers from the grammar book in the department, which is a
different edition from the one I gave you a copy of. You can find the update below.
