This was incredibly easy although I would argue some of the answers given as correct are false.

The question (and I'm paraphrasing") what is the economic system of America and the "correct" answer was "capitalism". Capitalism is a pejorative coined by Marx to describe what we had always called the free enterprise system. The "Free Enterprise System" is a better term, although one could argue that we actually have neither system at this point.

Another question lists powers and asks which is a power of the states. The correct answer is "to provide education". While this might be an actual power of a state, it is not inherently a power of the state. This is a common misunderstanding of the 10th amendment.
