Certainly if the questions get "randomized", the answers have to follow. Either someone messed up in the translation or VA changed the answer.
Well, not quite - at least, I don't think the Va. people changed the answer. We took the test via eofficials.com. All I know is I said true, and the result back said I was wrong.

Given some of the ticky-tack nature of the questions, I'm sure the rationale behind the answer key was "it didn't say 'in flight,' so it's false." Don't like it, but I'll live with it.

Just wish I'd thought to cut-and-paste it, so I would have the EXACT wording when I asked the question of the forum.

Consider this one as an example of what the FED one may have looked like...

"Each runner is awarded four bases (home) if a fair ball is prevented from going over a fence by being touched by a spectator."

I think the question in question may have looked something like that.

okay, here's what the rule book states on page 51...based upon this, yes, the answer is true...

Rule 8-3 ART 3a Each runner is awarded:

a. four bases (home) if a fair ball goes over a fence in flight of hits a foul pole above the fence, or is prevented from going over by being touched by a spectator, or is touched by an illegal glove/mitt or detached player equipment which is thrown, tossed, or kicked or held by a fielder:
