dont ya just love it when two verified answers say different things but for the same question? Not to mention the fact that they all don't know how to give a strait answer, so we all have to read the cryptic 'novel' that they wrote for us, just so we can compare and contrast the 4 different answers just t figure out which one is correct. its almost like a messed up learning experience, only when you finally get the answer that you think is right, you figure out that youve done more work than the teacher that assigned that stupid question on your test that you ended up failing because all the verified answers that yyou thought was correct was actually wrong, and the idiots that filter thrhrough answers, only mark them as verified if they have a paragraphs of useless informaton that doesnt even pertain to the question, let alone contain the correct answer! AND NOW I FIND MYSELF DOING MORE WORK THAN NOT JUST MY DEADBEAT TEACHERS, BUT THE MODERATORS ON THIS WEBSITE!!!

Any way the answer is 'A' for Plato users, please enjoy the rest of your day.
