Love this style and #7 is the only one I would answer since I do love humor and this has an inherent sense of underplayed, oft-forgotten sense of humor!
I will answer the questions in the style of a 16yr old boy who told me “Reading should be banned and I don’t see why I have to write anything.” Needless to say to say he failed his English Lit exam.
1. No.
2. -1 Don’t know
2 Don’t care
3. -1 Percentages(duh)
2 He’s an idiot
4. Whatever.
5. 10% because I said so.
6. Disagree (I disagree with everything on principle)
7. No
If that particular student had answered those questions there would have been no punctuation and very dubious spelling (think 21st century Molesworth) but I spared you that.
BRILLIANT, Terry - although it's made me fret about the risk of your setting a similar comprehension exercise for the first session of 'The 60 Minute Writer' course you're teaching on Tuesday. 🫣 I've just downloaded the pre-course reading and will be scrutinising it all the more carefully now that I've read this post! 🤣
I forgot to send, along with that pre-course reading, a note saying that anyone with a score of less than 50% will be booted off the course and blacklisted. My course is high stakes.
If the level of trembling and trepidation this version induced in me is a measure of your writing skill, then you, sir, are a genius. Yikes! Excellent.
For questions 1 - 6, my answers would be, "It depends . . . ." I used that many times in college for final exams. Results were mixed. Good one, Terry!
LOL. That's a good, all-purpose answer, Mary!
This is 100% the best one so far. I've said that before, but now you have truly topped it and this sits at the top.
I felt genuine terror reading the bolded instructions because it brought back such memories.
But then I am met with the wonderful, brilliant, hilarious and realistic questions for each statement.
Bravo, Terry. Bravo.
Thanks, Nathan! You might say the same about next week's one too. I guarantee it won't induce terror. Although, come to think of it... <snigger>
You have left your students baffled. 😯
I've left MYSELF baffled!
Terry, will you please excuse me? I'm having a sudden need to breathe into a paper bag.

Well done. You've nailed it.
🤣 Thanks, Elizabeth!

Indeed! Thanks, Jill 😁
I'm so glad I am not required to answer questions.
Chortle!
Haha same.
LOL

Careful, cos at this rate I’ll be flicking ink-soaked blotting paper at you with my shatterproof ruler. 😉
Wot, over Zoom??🤣
Yeah. I’m an idiot like that! 🤣
🤣

You can tell I enjoyed exams. I feel the urge to sit down and carefully consider these! What fun. Well done.
Thanks, Beth! I was worried that people would hate it, especially if it brought back unpleasant memories!

🤣 Sorry, Sharron! And thanks!
