How acceptable are these examples? As in are they overused to the point that asssesors are sick of them?

- Baa-baa rainbow sheep
- Humpty Dumpty got up again vs couldn't put back
- Fairy penguin changing to little penguin
- 'Principal' under discussion as it relates to 'prince'
- Visually impaired vs blind

They seem like good examples. If you ever have a mental blank in the exam, don't forget these; although they might be overused.

Didn't Humpty Dumpty change from, "All the King's horses and all the King's men/Couldn't put Humpty together again" to "Humpty Dumpty counted to ten then Humpty Dumpty got up again!"?

Also, what was the fairy penguin one about?

Really?  Homosexuality with fairy penguin?  Honestly, what is our world coming to?

Thanks anyway.  :)
