Can you pass "Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball"?

From ESPN:

If you were enrolled in Jim Harrick Jr.’s Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball course at the University of Georgia in the fall of 2001, you were drilled on such subjects as basketball, basketball and even basketball.

How many points for a field goal? What league does Georgia compete in? What color are the uniforms? These are just a few of the piercing questions Harrick inflicted on his class.

Take the test and see if you pass.

I want to know how you can possibly grade a multiple choice question that asks you to express an opinion (question 20). An essay question I can see; you get graded on how well you justify your opinion. But a multiple choice question?

“Wrong. That’s not your opinion.”

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
