A: "Comprises *of*" is wrong. Something either "comprises" or "consists of"

You're right, but the word 'comprises' isn't used in the sentence... I suggest your re-read it...

A for effort. C- minus for reading ability... ;-)

See?! Even readers are getting it wrong!

The text says "compromising" not "comprising", if its even correct to use "comprising".

OK - but this one I got right!

I admit it, guilty as charged on the count of misreading the article, possibly because "compromising of" makes absolutely no sense at all!

But: "suggest your re-read it..." Do you mean "you"? :)
