Observatie
La 1.4 am modificat B earlier cu earlyer. Originalul scria B. earlier; D. earlier, ceea ce insemna ca ambele variante sunt corecte, deci si B si D. Acest lucru contrazicea cerinta ce spune clar : Alege varianta corecta! Deci doua variante corecte nu sunt posibile conform cerintei. Poate ca ar fi trebuit sa las varianta nemodificata si sa scriu raspuns corect : 1.4.B / D.
