  12. 35 - inference - A (The paragraph lists several skilled workers and what they did for the scene. There’s no suggestion that it was a historical event. It might be true that it would be filmed differently today, but that isn’t implied by the paragraph.)
  13. 36 - fact - A (B is definitely wrong, C and D are not mentioned in the text)
  14. 19 - inference - A (The strict definition says no matter or energy crosses the boundary. The broader definition allows energy to pass, but not matter. Together with the fact that “there are few truly closed systems in nature”, this implies that most systems in nature involve energy crossing the boundary.)

It is not possible to climb up the walls or along the rafters. The man hanged himself. How did he do it?
