I knew you couldn't be very _ _55 .” And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there. 36.  A. failed         B. wrote         C. received      D. chose 37.  A. an average     B. a total       C. an exam       D. a number 38.  A. always         B. possibly      C. certainly     D. frequently 39.  A.
