Those answers are not too bad :)

Really, some of these questions are pretty bad anyway for an exam. What happens to a boy when reaching puberty? Plenty of answers possible. What happens to your body as you age? Plenty of things... How important are elections? I'm sure that's up for debate depending on one's political views.

A good question on an exam is one where the answer cannot be disputed afterwards. The above are just a few of the questions in the opening post, where too many answers are possible and thus where the student cannot be expected to know what the teacher is willing to hear.

You gotta hand it to the kids for some of the 'creative' answers though :)

Well, I know of a guy who once deliberately filled in the most silly answers on his exam as a protest against the silly questions. The teacher however gave him some good marks for creativity and he passed his exams.

Anyways, some of the questions in the opening post are pretty bad. An exam question where the answer can be disputed or where a multitude of answers are possible, is a bad question and asks for students making a complaint in case they failed to pass the exams narrowly.
