Those senior executives are also beginning to wake up and smell the trends. Just what I needed.. But this book still resonated with me and I'm so glad I read it. I have also found, while grading the work, that the answer key is predominantly correct. Sometimes, hearing that we're all having the same doubts and troubles makes it excusable, but we know deep down it's not ok to skip that soccer practice or let the iPod be on at dinner. He was like an enigma. I have only found a few instances where the answer key is wrong, and it was only one answer or an entire row of answers was missing.
