airplane food

Is there a special term for "airline food" that captures the reality of how terrible it is?! In U.S. we make jokes about it.

Terri R.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

This is a question on grading the writing challenges (which are great-Thanks!)I struggle with grading the Writing Challenges. An example I have just had: The correct answers were (1) "on a beaucoup de choix", and (2) "on a plein d'options". My answer was a mixture of the two: "on a beaucoup d'options". Question: when there are two correct answers, are the parts 'interchangable'? Are "a plein d' " interchangeable with "a beaucoup de", and "d'options" with "de choix"? Or is the correct answer exactly as it is written in the first or the second sentence? I hope this makes sense! Thank you in advance for your help! Terri
