For PLATO users the answer would be: "According to some scholars, when poorly educated people read, wrote, and spoke, they corrupted the English language." and "There was no authority on the"correct" way to use or spell words."


I hope this helps anyone. Also if it helps to know, I got it right on the test. :)
