This is... what am I looking at? What grade is this for? The answer set is essentially gibberish.

Also, why is the third picture the right answer? What's in the syringe? A vaccine? Heroin? Potassium cyanide? Sterilizing agents?

"What is the basis of freedom?"

A) sweet potato

B) 496

C) seizing the means of production

Actually, this would make a great game or puzzle, i.e., to find ways to justify each of the responses. When I was a test editor, I had to reject one proposed test because there would be too many ways a really creative person could answer each question. I've always wished that instead of rejecting it outright I'd suggested publishing it with a few modifications as a test of creativity. But of course such a test would have to require discursive answers instead of machine-graded bullet sheets, so it would have been too expensive to administer.

Indeed - "freedom" in particular is contextually superfluid, though the political meaning is pretty solid as it refers to state action.

A - Because a "sweet potato" or ocarina is a musical instrument that allows one to express oneself or even lead a protest parade.
