I got 14. I would argue that preserve and reserve do not have similar meanings.

Same. It's a pretty subjective question for what is supposed to be an objective test.

I got 14 out of 15 and spent 5 minutes total on the questions. I assume they don't get calculators so I did 9 and 10 in my head and missed 9. I thought it would require 18 pages instead of 17, but I didn't wrack my brain over it because I was aware of the time limit involved.

My exact score as well. That question is wrong.

I'm actually confused by people getting this wrong.
They both deal with keeping certain elements apart or in withdraw, as in preserving fruit by protecting it from exposure or reserving your troops, protecting them from exposure. |

When you preserve something you archive it so it doesn't age. Both items can be used in the future. Use the transitive property Preserve:: Archive If Preserve::Reserve then Archive::Reserve. It doesn't. Part of the problem stems from the inarticulate nature of the possible answers; they aren't logically consistent. Same =/= similar
