9. Granites are coarse-grained and light in color.
​
I answered False to this on the grounds that the granite counter tops in my kitchen are about as dark as it is possible to get. (i.e. jet black.)
​
My answer was marked as incorrect.
​
Stopped doing the tests after that. What's the point when some of their answers are just plain wrong?

Apples are red.
​
The existence of green apples doesn't make that statement false.
Actually I beg to differ on that.
The statement "Apples are red" implies ALL apples are red.
If you wanted to say that some apples are not red then you would need to include the word some into your statement otherwise the existence of green apples does make the statement false.
Or at the very least completely meaningless.
