I scored a 6.0 using myohmy's template. I was taken in for a shock. Thanks myohmy! I suggest people take this template and build their own statements and styles surrounding the way the intro was made and how the points were structured. Thanks once again.

Hi Stacey
How do you explain the "which can grow to be" phrase in A? I found "to be" awkward so totally discarded the answer.
