38. How smart can I be.
I took the test two weeks ago (133) and couln't remember that there were forty questions.
And there was definitely one question concerning what a truly knowledgeable person knows that I wasn't completely comfortable with any of the answers presented.
But with the example question you gave, I don't have a bit of doubt that Grapes was the correct answer. And not because Grapes grow on vines, but because they don't grow on trees.
Now, as far as there being many possible answers, I would point out that the Law boards have a section, at least they did when I took them (And no, I'm not a lawyer) that would give you five correct answers to a reading and have you prioritize the relevancy of the the answers. The idea being that intelligent people can make logical deductions as to the relative importance of any particular piece of information, even when faced with competing pieces of relevant information.
And many possible answeres or not, the dominant reason, in the context of the question, was grapes.
