Clarity in teaching
Whoever wrote the quiz questions does not understand the precepts taught in this module. They are vague and not very precise in what they ask for. Many times at least 2 of the answers would work equally well.
One problem many teachers have is they forget the fact that they are an expert in their field, and their students are only learning it. What is abundantly clear to the instructor might be vague or muzzy to the students.
If very few students in a class fail to grasp a concept it is time for the teacher to take a second look at how they are presenting it.
I do have to agree with Paul, There are several questions that could have different answers that would be applicable. The choices should be broadened to give clearer answer, which is part of what your trying to teach...clarity.

Paul,
Thank you for your opinion about the quiz questions. The answers are based upon ongoing item analysis as a result of the input of several thousand participants.
At time direct instruction along with frequent checks for understanding are needed in order to gasp the concepts and make applications of the material being presented.
