Great writers 'fail' online literature test [BBC - 11/13/2009]

...The speech begins: "What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over: the Battle of Britain is about to begin. 'Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilisation. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. 'The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us.'

Only multiple choice exam papers are currently marked online As for William Golding, an extract from Lord of the Flies was criticised as having 'inaccurate and erratic sentence structure'.
