Scroll down to see the details - the incorrect answers are marked in red. Do the quiz again (click the link on our site again) until you achieve at least 45 out of 50 points.
The answer key may sometimes be incomplete or even inaccurate. I am always grateful for your help in this matter.
Here is the syllabus . It contains a lot of glossy OfficialSpeak and sections like "social outcomes, etc." (cele społeczne) I have always wondered - why only "social outcomes"? Why not "military outcomes", "economic outcomes", "health outcomes", "space-industry outcomes", "preventing fire-hazard outcomes"? Anyway, I hope some parts of it will be useful.
