I got to question 7 on that Scientific Literacy quiz before I gave up in anger. The questions are terrible. The multiple choice format is limiting, but that's no excuse for the focus on irrelevant knowledge rather that the fundamental scientific principles. Asking which plant Mendel used for genetics experiments or what variable physicists use to denote the speed of light completely misses the point.
