Mad and angry have no inherent level of difference. Although many parents say "I'm not mad at you, but I'm angry with you," they're synonyms. Then again, this is only 5th grade, not the Miller Analogies exam, so I guess "synonyms" is an acceptable "link." In that case, yes, "stream" would be acceptable.

mad Audio pronunciation of "mad" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (md)
adj. mad·der, mad·dest

1. Angry; resentful. See Synonyms at angry.

1) creek of annoyance

Omg, you sound like Shakespeare!

I was told that the odd grades are harder than the even, is this true or has anyone else ever heard this?
