| mattg | B and C are the same thing, must be A |
| jerasmus | Arghh! I chose B because I read 'horisontal' axis... |
| pporres | same thing here.... i learnt that every time i see two answers that look like correct or very similar to each other i have to reread the question... most of the times the answer is right there. |
| Ifi2703 | Yep, read the axis part as horizontal too and chose B. I really hope i get my act together and stop making silly mistakes like these on the exam!! |
