Exam 2a - two last student questions

Q: For question 20 on the spring 2011 exam 2a the answer for __________ are people who have a higher tolerance for negative inequity. was d)benevolent
Shouldn't it be e)entitleds because benevolent means that you don't care about inequity while entitleds don't care if they get more rewards than other people?
Thank you,

A: Entitleds have a higher tolerance for positive inequity; benevolents accept negative inequity.

On the fall 2008 test, question 12 says:

Among the time management and other self-management techniques recommended in class readings is
A. As a courtesy you should always answer email messages as they arrive
B. maintain multiple email accounts
C. Each days to do list should include long term things you might wish to get done in the future
D. Don't ever waste time producing a log of where you've spent your time; it's better to just look ahead

The correct answer is "B", but on the email you sent the class earlier from spring 2011, there was a similar question and the answers were "don't ever waste time producing a log of where you've spent your time" and "avoid using multiple email accounts"

I think the answer key has the wrong answer and it should really say "D" not "B".

A: The article and our class discussion recommended producing the log.  Maintaining multiple email accounts is also recommended, though it may no longer be mentioned in the assigned readings.  Any contradiction of either of these statements in class presentation or materials was an error. Therefore, B is the only correct answer.
