The problem that I had with this quiz is that after seriously taking a look at the reference verse and trying to answer the questions, I was at the same time comparing these answeres against how I might have answered if the question was "What would Stephen do?".
In researching the problems with goats (Matthew 25: 31-46), I did find that Feta cheese is more often a product of sheep rather than goats.
