A musical man who tried _________ felt he would have to _________ in order to live where he could hear his favorite music.
Which of the scrambled words below is least like the others? (The difference has nothing to do with vowels, consonants or syllables.)
DIHAO EXMCOI CFLAIROAIN MNGIOYW
The opening line of a well-known American novel has had all its vowels removed. Replace them and find the line.
