This test paper is Multiple Choice.

Multiple Choice means you must select from ONE of the following answers. You MUST NOT select multiple answers. That’s NOT what Multiple Choice means.

You can use the crayon provided to mark the box next to the answer you select.

Do NOT eat the crayon.

You have until the big hand and the little hand are both pointing up like fingers indicating the pretty sky.

You can begin now.

I mean, you can begin the test. Not begin crying.

a) Document the allegation

c) Post pictures of your cat on Instagram and Facebook
