The part I was most concerned about is that sometimes what may seem to be a "bad practice" may in fact be the right practice for a given situation. I think any answer to the multiple choice question other than "evaluate the situation and recommend or implement based on conditions" is going to be bad unless the question actually provides enough information about the situation being posited to perform an evaluation. I imagine questions that span an entire page followed by a list of choices... :)

I'm OK with that and I understand why both answers, though different, can be true at the same time.
