The Exam Tests This Directly

The idea

Sample question eight prints a line of Shakespeare and offers five restatements. All five are grammatical English. Only one keeps the original's tense and mood, so the question is settled by grammar rather than by taste or by feeling for the poem.

In practice

Five grammatical options, one faithful.

Where people slip

Grammar decides, not interpretation.
