Yep, that's right....the question doesn't ask if they celebrate the holiday 4th of July in Canada, it just asks if they have a 4th of JUly in Canada.
This quiz is all about reading & answering EXACTLY what the question asks & not reading anything more of less into them.
I remember being given a test in school at the end of the semester...the statement at the top of the test said READ EVERY QUESTION before starting to answer any of the questions on the test.
The last question on the test said......don't answer any of the questions on the test. So often we just start doing things without reading the instructions (my typical engineering self starts to do before reading anything & saving the instructions for when I can't figure it out on my own).
So many people ended up answering at least 1/2 of the questions before finally looking through the test & seeing the last question/statement.
After that, I started at least looking at the last question....not good if they had thrown that statement somewhere in the middle.....but the point was.....you need to read & follow EXACTLY what is written....& that's what these questions are doing also & sorting through exactly what they are saying.
Ugh, I was always horrible at word problems in math.....they were in many of my nightmares. Reading I knowing exactly what something is asking....is that really common sense is?

Even though the husband is dead, the widow's sister could marry him, and since marriage is a team effort he will be marrying her. It depends on the laws of a particular place.

The only thing is that when we get a marriage license BOTH parties have to sign it....& a dead person can't sign anything so therefore the dead person couldn't legally be married to the sister (at least with the way marriage licenses work in the US). Seems like it also takes some knowledge of exactly how things work in specific locations & without having personal experience to KNOW exactly how something really works, that doesn't have anything to do with common sense, it has more to do with practical, REAL experience......but that is usually a good foundation for common sense.
