• There are several suggested answers to this one. Which is correct, do you think?
   – Grammar rules, the first sentence is in the present tense. So when it says he has 6 eggs, he has 6 eggs. The other sentences are in the past tense. (This is the officially correct answer ….)
  However:
   – The exact answer is 2 because if two eggs were broken from 6 eggs there will be 4 more and then she cooked and ate two extra eggs. 6-4=2 so there will be 2 more left
   
   – There are four left… he broke two, cooked the same two, and ate the same two.
   

You decide for yourself!
