Nice Quiz!
You got me on Omo Kibish=)

And I misunderstood the question about “creative explosion”. I recognize the correct alternative, but one may argue that there are still some who today would link that phrase to its original context, and would use other and better expressions to describe the development of “modern” behavior.

Yeah, I have to admit I think both of those questions are a bit sneaky; I wish I knew how to code them to give partial credit!

Anyway, good thing nobody’s ever hired me to write questions for the GRE!
