00 This question was asked in a test which was administered nationwide in Turkey in 2000. The official correct answer was not declared, but I think that it is D. I wonder why B would be wrong. Is it only a matter of punctuation? The institution administering the test is notorious for its carelessness about punctuation in the writing of the test. If it is punctuation that makes B wrong, then it is indeed ironic. 0-
