My comments as I run through this quiz...

Just got the question wrong about who to treat for injuries first. Well, if all I had was a cut on my forehead, then there's no need to treat myself. I mean, I presume that I found the cut while checking myself for injuries and that's all that was found, therefore I can go help others. Unless I was gushing blood, a little cut isn't going to stop me.

Just got the one about small fires wrong...I must have misread it or something. Or I have a different definition of "small fire" than they do. If it's like a little trash can fire, yeah, put it out. But I was thinking some part of the house, like the kitchen, was on fire due to spilled supper or some such. Knowing how quickly such fires can spread, I don't think I'd try to put it out. BTW, I once tried to help put out a very small car fire. Three of us went through several fire extinguishers in only a minute and couldn't put it out.

And the one about drinking water from canned vegetables....There's a rule-of-thumb about multiple choice quizzes. One answer is obviously wrong, another (or two) look sort of right, and then there's the right answer. Obviously drinking form the pool is wrong as it's chlorinated. The vegetables didn't make sense, so I chose the spa, even though it didn't seem right either, but, it's not chlorinated as far as I know. But then, I don't have a spa, so I don't know.

Oh well, missed three.
