Remarkably enough, I had intuited, by the time I had read the 3rd question, that the correct answers to the questions would, in each case, be "All of the above". This despite the fact that I am from India, and have no experience or understanding of the US educational situation beyond what I read here and elsewhere on the Internet. I am not even a teacher!
I do not know whether this remarkable result came about because of my readings at Math-teach etc or because of the way the questions were designed.
