If we are looking for a word in text will you accept plurals? Instead of diamond will you accept diamonds?

yes

Thanks!

For the prompts, do each of us read for a different one or can two people read for the same prompt?

Is this for steps of knowledge round? You are aiming to read for the correct prompt as many times as you can before the round ends.

Another question kind of playing off that one just looking at the spreadsheet and see we select our answer separate from our prompt - does what we read for a prompt need to match what we think the answer is? Like do if i read crown on the cover but i didn't think that was the question answer would that mean i shouldn't read for that/no points if it's a wrong answer? Or do i just match what i think is the answer to the prompt i read? I wouldn't question it but since it's separate in the SS I'm wondering.

You can technically read for any prompt - whether it's the right answer or not. You don't lose points if you read for the wrong prompt if that helps, but you also don't gain bonus points if you read for the correct answer.

Though, I guess, I could be persuaded to add points if you read for the correct answer(s).

Also, yes, the book must fit the prompt you are reading/answering for.

OH, okay. You all can read for the same task. It doesn't matter to me.

Thank you, Alaina! :)

Does the book be finished during the round read for? So let's say I read 2 books today...can I use one for R1 and the second for R2 and post it on the 6th?

You can use them whenever 😊
