The picture above and the one below go together.

Question 11: Pick the good protester/s in the pictures above. 

The first picture shows two Freedom Riders, including John Lewis, left, who have just been beaten up by segregationists in 1961. The man at the right is picking out pieces of a shattered tooth after being hit with a lead pipe.

A. Bad

B. Good

(For the love of god, sir, don’t blow this one. That shock of hair. That famous moustache. Even you can’t miss this one!!!!)

Correct answers:

1 C; 2 B; 3 C; 4 A; 5 B; 6 B; 7 A; 8 A; 9 B; 10 B; 11 B; 12 A.

For most Americans we might expect a score of 11 or more correct. For President Trump, we will settle for a score of three or more.
