I go to k12 too and i am writing this test now too. I am like pretty sure my answer is correct. I guess we can kinda help eachother with this assignment cuz i am sorta stuck too.

The older a person gets, the greater REE he has.

I dont know i hope this helped a bit I know its not much i need help with this too.
