We speak student!

00:04

[ musical flourish ]

00:07

And here's your Shmoop du jour, brought to you by peat bogs.

00:11

Hey, would the plural of "peat bog" be, uh, repeat bog? [a field with many sign boards - Repeat bog]

00:15

All right, let's check out the following passage.

00:17

[ mumbles ]

00:23

All right, which of the details is not included in the passage?

00:25

And here are our potential answers.

00:27

[ mumbles ]

00:30

All right, well, answers A and C can be eliminated in a double whammy, [a man, in a forest with a gun, looking for something]

00:34

as we recognize both pieces of information

00:37

from the second sentence of the passage.

00:39

Though it does make us wonder - what if peat bog zombies

00:42

are so well-preserved that they could easily

00:44

blend in with everyone else until it's too late? [a zombie trying to scare people]

00:49

Answer D bites the peat next. Heh.

00:51

And gives us another good reason to avoid peat bogs.

00:54

Make that dozens of reasons.

00:56

Now that we're no longer bogged down by incorrect answers,

00:59

we can determine that B is correct. [man in a snow clad mountain]

01:01

01:04

were likely killed in a ritualistic way,

01:07

it does not specify that it was a Druidic ritual.

01:10

But, uh, we'd probably advise the Druids to not leave town. [a man and a woman tied up and being burnt]

01:14
