(In reply to
logic error by Scott)
My dear friend,
you are half right. You are saying that there may be error in this problem by choosing the answer for question 9 as A. thats the problem. Since there is some logical error if you choose A for 9, this implies that Ais not the correct answer for the question 9.
with love,
jp
