Read the paragraph and choose the best answers to the questions I am Tom. When I was at high school, I used to like Science best and hate Literature and English most of all. I attended all the Science classes, but I used to quit some Literature and English ones. I enjoyed doing Science exercises, but I never did Literature or English ones. I used to copy my deskmate’s homework for these two subjects all the time. I liked Science because everything was clear. I just needed to learn the rules and applied them. I used to be the best student at Science. With English and Literature I had to learn by heart too much, and I hated it. So I used to be the most popular student in my Science classes, but all English and Literature teachers hated me. I now realize that I wasted some of my best time at the high school. 5: Which of the followings about Tom is NOT true? A. He always did his English and Literature homework. B.
