This is the 2nd of 4 discussion posts on the Wizards' 
Ordinary Magic and Basic Aptitude Test (WOMBAT), GRADE 1, 
and corresponds to polls set up here at the Main list.  
Instead of holding 25 separate polls, we've consolidated 
the questions and the choices for them into just 10 polls.  
Look for the URLs inserted in these discussion posts.
 
The commentary by Steve Vander Ark and Belinda Hobbs at 
http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizworld/wombat.html is a handy 
guide that even includes links to specific sections of 
interest in the HP Lexicon.  If you can't pick just one 
of the choices, perhaps refreshing your memory of canon 
details at the Lexicon will help so go check it out if you 
haven't already!
 
Magical Transport 
 
10. Which mode of transportation would you advise for a 
young mother traveling with one-year-old twins with a low 
boredom threshold, her grandmother, who suffers from 
severe motion sickness, and her husband, who has never 
mastered the three ‘D’s?
 
a. Apparition 
b. Broomsticks 
c. Floo Powder 
d. Knight Bus 
e. Portkey 
 
11. Which of the following unorthodox means of 
transportation is considered the most serious breach of 
the International Statue [sic]* of Secrecy? 
 
a. Thestrals

e. Underwater ship 
 
* To quote Belinda of the Lexicon: "...this is a typo on 
the exam, not by us.  We assume that it should read 
Statute. (and that it is not a trick question, or 
referring to a replacement for the demolished Fountain 
of Magical Brethren.)"
