So I wonder who makes these questions. When I get a wrong answer I like to go check them out. So for the Lord of the Rings I got 6 books arranged in 3 volumes which then become amalgamated into one complete volume. So was he asking for books or volumes? Even in the answer he says 3 volumes - volumes to me are not books. With regard to Why nitrogen important for plant growth - nowhere in my looking did I see any mention of chlorophyll - while I did not understand it completely myself I came to the conclusion it was either energy or digestion - even in the answer it mentions production of energy so shouldn't the answer have been B (I mean I still got it wrong)
