I believe the original quiz was stated thus:

The original scenario was (assuming my cut-and-paste works correctly), "R1, R3. The pitcher, having come to a discernible and complete pause in the set position, lifts his non-pivot foot and steps directly toward third. He does not feint a throw there. He immediately wheels and, while remaining on the rubber, throws to first and picks off R1. "

I took Carl at his word that there was no feint. So, his answer is correct. IF there's no feint, it must be a balk (FED).
