For my History 'O' level 25 years ago, I was asked
"What was the Black Hole of Calcutta", I answered "It was a black hole found in Calcutta"
"What was the Boston Tea Party", "It was a tea party held in Boston"
For my French written I was asked to write 100 word essay on Paris, I wrote 20 words about myself.
Needless to say I received a U grade in both.
