- This is a highly binary and leading question and there is only one possible answer. Opt for the wrong one and the exam is declared void immediately. Missing someone can be very moving, but it has nothing, strictly nothing to do with a fitness to return. One can miss someone and know, or should know, that they are absolutely not a person ever to get close to again. One can both utterly regret a partner and not in any way benefit from being with them. Of course, someone might tell a lie at this juncture, but at least it will be clear to them that they are having to deceive in order to proceed. No one can be in any doubt as to the purpose of this exam, to search out and probe at signs of learning rather than signs of love.
這是一個高度二元化的引導性問題，只有一個可能的答案。如果選擇了錯誤的答案，考試就會立即宣告無效。思念一個人可能會讓人非常感動，但這與是否適合回來完全沒有關係。一個人可以想念一個人，也可以知道，或者應該知道，他絕對不是一個可以再親近的人。一個人既可以對伴侶感到無比遺憾，也可以對與伴侶在一起沒有任何益處。當然，有人可能會在這個時候說假話，但至少他們會清楚地知道，為了繼續下去，他們不得不欺騙自己。沒有人會懷疑這次考試的目的，那就是尋找和探究學習的跡象，而不是愛情的跡象。
- No one can be in any doubt as to the purpose of this exam—to search out and probat signs of learning rather than signs of love.
