Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I saw two answers that I was certain did contribute to his drinking problem, so those were dismissed.

Of the remaining two options, one I was not certain of and the other—the "Rio" Grande answer—looked wrong because of the incorrect name. Some quiz authors will craft similar sounding answers in an effort to trick the test-taker. This was only the second question, so I had no way of knowing how tough the composers were going to make this quiz. Since I was iffy about the other, I chose the Rio Grande response because I knew at least part of that answer was wrong.

Had they correctly identified it as Macho Grande, I would have known that was indeed a factor which contributed to his drinking problem and the other response—the one I was not sure about—would have been left as the only possibility and I would have gotten that question right.

Ergo, the misidentifying of the location name directly contributed to my getting that question wrong, hence my call of "shenanigans".

I'm not mad, I'm not going to lose any sleep over this, and my shenanigans comment was meant to be taken lightly. Next time I'll try to communicate that more clearly.

Yeah, you're still confused. You're supposed to pick the correct answer. Plus, you're supposed to pick what he specifically said "as much as anything else" contributed to his drinking problem.

I dug up the script.

Striker : A lot of people made plans before the war . . .like George Zip. It was at that moment that I
first realized Elaine had doubts about our
relationship. And that as much as anything else
led to my drinking problem ( He pours his drink
on himself.)

So that was the correct answer, Elaine's doubts.
