Language Quiz

Here's a new quiz - though, as always, maybe there's nothing wrong. I found this over at Talking Points Memo:

Of course, if those things were somehow proven, provided those statements are even accurate descriptions of things that happened, the $250,000 from that convicted fraudster would be pocket change to whomever could.

At esurance.com if we can't give you the best deal we'll show you where you can.

When you drop the main verb after an auxiliary verb, it needs to be the same verb as the main verb. So this parses to "we'll show you where you can give you the best deal".

Which makes no sense.

If the verbs aren't the same, you need to supply it.

At esurance.com if we can't give you the best deal we'll show you where you can get it.

And look here for Previous Quizzes, 38 so far.
