Good test, but you do have to read the questions and answers carefully.

The one question I missed, "A flood-control levee (or National Defense) is considered a public good because:" didn't have a correct answer available IMHO.

"You answered 31 out of 33 correctly — 93.94 %"

I'm surprised, had to guess at about 3, one of which was wrong. Guess I'm not as ignorant as I'd feared.
