These questions are from a Vietnamese book in the Academy of Finance. The teacher is Vietnamese, does not hold a qualification higher than a bachelor's and has to teach 80 students. Most, if not all, are of beginner, elementary level.

There are mistakes in the text and it is hard enough for a native speaker to convey the message of 'By Whom' - Especially at these levels and class sizes, let alone a non-native speaker.

I guess you all know how I just spent my last hour.
