draw five circles that one common interlocking part
even without the missing word I'm struggling to imagine whether they mean like 5 in a row like the olympics or 5 in a circle around one point, because the latter has more than one overlap --- But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them - bring them here and kill them in front of me ~Jesus Christ ...

draw five circles that one common interlocking partMy interpretation is to draw five circles of different sizes inside each other so they only touch at one point.

oh you're asking me to explain what they want in the test It says around so I assumed it meant circle, not underlining it. I'm pretty sure its a gotcha question though.

The beauty of these types of tests is if the person who grades them gets the answer wrong, boom, the person who took the test failed anyways.
AKA they'll always be able to do that to ensure failure to anyone they want. Like, say, any person of color. --- tfw no big tiddy goth vampire gf who lactates blood - viewmaster_pi ... Copied to Clipboard!
