A book by John LeCarre called "A Small Town in Germany". In the British Army of Rhine after the war, there as a song popular with the troops containing lines (more or less), "In a small town there lived a Musikant, "Ich bin der Musikant, ich lieb' der Vaterland". Musikant is apparently the German word for a hack musician, a club player, as opposed to a Musiker who might play in a prestigious ochestra.

The biggest country in Asia. :)So, then you know the Clintons.
To: ET(end tyranny)
Maybe, MAYBE in chat, but even that is out of place in my mind. Certainly not appropriate for the News/Activism thread.
To: Lonesome in Massachussets
That's pretty obscure, even by FReeper standards.

Go

I had just never encounter the term "Musikant" anywhere else and was wondering if that was what he intended.
To: musicant
musicant, good luck with your learning of English.
I used to teach English As A Second Language and appreciate just how
complicated our language can be. The exceptions to the rules are
endless and often very confusing.
Best Wishes from America.

4.Poverty is not___in most cities although, perhaps because of the crowded conditions in certain areas, it is more visible there. A.rare B.temporary C.prevalent D.segmental The sentence is a run-on.
Read it again to see the two independent clauses incorrectly joined:
Poverty is not___in most cities although, perhaps because of the crowded conditions in certain areas, it is more visible there.
(The 2 independent clauses are: "Poverty is not prevalent." "It is more visible there.")
To use "although" as a conjunction here, you need a comma before it.
By the way, Russia is the largest country in Asia. The Russian Republic has 6,592,812 square miles, while the People's Republic of China has 3,691,502 square miles, according to Merriam-Webster.
