I spent my morning today filling out little bubbles on Scantron forms. I hate doing that. It was necessary though because I was taking exams to add on to one of my commercial pesticide applicator licenses - call it career advancement.
Toward the end of one of the three exams, I found myself confronted by a question that I quickly realized was being asked as part of the exam not because it was important to know, but because the person(s) who wrote the test couldn't think up one last question to make an even hundred.
The question was something to the effect of...
"You are preparing a tank mix of pesticides when you are approached by members of the public. They ask you what you are doing, what pesticides you are using and how they work. Do you:
(A) Pretend that you don't speak English
(B) Tell them that it's top secret
(C) Spray them with pesticides until they go away
(D) Explain it all to them, and/or give them the name and contact info of your employer."
I kid you not, that was the question and those were the possible answers.
I think the whole thing was poorly written though. There should have been a fifth possible answer:
"(E) Both A and C are correct."
