peer agreement (net): +2amusements Explanation: See the discussion box. In this case, which is US English, carnival means "a traveling enterprise offering amusements" (Webster's). So the contests might include things like shooting galleries, coconut shies, and fortune tellers. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2020-09-30 18:17:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Well, not fortune tellers, because they're not contests. But you get the idea. |
