Part of the problem with such an exam, though, unless it was worded just perfectly/etc is that, for many religions and scripture/etc, there isn't one right interpretation. There are many possible interpretations of it. To only have a few down with one of those as the "right answer" would not be fair, since there would be many possible interpretations. A question such as "What was the majority opinion of <fill in the blank religious section> between the years of <fill in the years> on <insert passage of scripture from some religious book>?" and then having multiple choice would be okay as there would only be one answer.....whether you agreed with that particular religious section or not.
A question such as "What does this passage of scripture mean?" and having multiple choices would NOT be a fair question due to multiple correct interpretations.
