Agreed. I used to work on many variations of two stroke Detroit Diesel engines.
There were other half answers, where their version of correct was not necessarily the only answer, although I guessed which answer they wanted

You did very well at guessing which answers they thought were right John 33 is a really good score.

34. The 'rotary' engine one threw me, and then I remember the Yanks use that word to describe what I always called 'radial'.

Q5 was wrong, there was no correct answer. There have been a number of 'two stroke' cars, the Trabant being possibly the most famous.

Saab, Subaru and Suzuki, all made two stroke engined cars. Must be something to do with makers begining with S.

You have to remember that in the USA, if it ways less than three tone, it's a Billy Cart.

Trabant. 'S'. Nope, not seeing it.

How very true. The answer given, however, said "car". Dunno how many Jimmy powered cars there were.
