Talk:World History Final Exam (view source)
Revision as of 20:19, December 17, 2011
, 20:19, December 17, 2011→Badly Phrased Questions: Do we need to include a middle initial for Karl Marx to distinguish him from others in history who had that same name???
Question 40: I can name 19 national leaders with the surname Romanov (and I may well have missed a few). Admittedly the whole dynasty does not overlap with any of the other answers, but I'd have thought 'The House of Romanov' would have been clear for option IV.

:Your comments are welcome, and let's look at each of your six criticisms:
:*"No one 'discovered' gravity" - I disagree. Action-at-a-distance gravity '''''was''''' discovered, and was not always known.
:*Unless you know of a common prior name for the "Great War," then it was indeed the "original" name.
:*Although you make a good point, your suggested rewording would not be an improvement in light of all the answer choices.
:*It's not necessary to give a number to the first (and most important) in a line of rulers. Queen Elizabeth did not have such a number when she ruled. No one refers to "Napoleon I"!
:*No, I don't think a "first" need be added. It is not common to say, "Who first broke the door?"
:*You have a valid point here but, again, historical names are clear enough without obscure qualifiers. Do we need to include a middle initial for Karl Marx to distinguish him from others in history who had that same name???--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 15:19, 17 December 2011 (EST)
