Before you start

Every question has four choices and one BEST answer, as on the real exam. Each explanation says why the answer is right, why the most tempting wrong answer is wrong, and which law or code section it rests on; calculations show the arithmetic.
Check each answer to see the explanation before moving on. Checked answers cannot be changed.
