Bob,
While I agree with you whole-heartedly that the .3 rule does not apply to a regular pass when the ball is already in play, I have to disagree with you that too many officials think it does. I, personally, do not know any that believe this. I truly hope that this is the case where you are. If not we have bigger problems!
But more importantly, I think that the wording on the test is quite poor, just saying .3 seconds remains on the clock doesn't give enough information to determine if it is a true statement or not. They need to tell us whether or not the play resumed from a stoppage with that amount of time. I believe that the wording actually implies that the clock was stopped, but that's not really worth debating.

I also agree that mdray has to be right as to why c. is not listed as a correct answer. I just believe that stating it this way on the quiz will only serve to confuse more people than it instructs and education should be the point of the quiz.
