8. He made a lot of suggestions.
9. You should definitely ask Professor Stone for a deadline extension.
10. He should take some responsibility for this situation.
11. It is sort of his fault you won't have much time to work on in before the due date.
12. I've thought about that, but would he think I was being pushy or criticizing him for not getting the paper back to me right away.
13. I don't want to offend him.
14. True, but it is you grade we are talking about.
15. You've got a legitimate concern.

20. I bet you can finish it quickly; work really fast and it'll still turn out good.
21. Do my best for the time I have left.
22. Well, if I worked really hard, I imagine I might do ok but I‘d have to be sure to deal with all these comments.
23. I need a good grade.
