--------------------------------------
In question 5, In horse terms, what are the name of a foal's mother and father?" I had to resist
the temptation to answer: Bruce/Mary, Jack/Jill, Boxer/Blossom, etc etc, but Nella did not give me
the freedom to answer as the question seemed to indicate; * terms rather than * names and * for
rather than * of would have been preferable, but then, I am a proper old nitpicker, so what more can
one expect? though, I must say that I was, just a teeny-weeny bit, tempted to select option A.
