Wow that's a bad quiz.

A couple of examples:

> If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

...

Biased question. It's not an exclusive-or.

> Because corporations cannot be trusted to voluntarily protect the environment, they require regulation.

...

(Potentially) invalid premise. If one believes corporations can be trusted to voluntarily protect the environment, but believe they should require regulation anyways, there is no way to say so.

> It's a sad reflection on our society that something as basic as drinking water is now a bottled, branded consumer product.

Question is biased.

> Land shouldn't be a commodity to be bought and sold.

Define "bought and sold".

> Governments should penalise businesses that mislead the public.

Define "mislead".

> A genuine free market requires restrictions on the ability of predator multinationals to create monopolies.

Question is biased.

> The businessperson and the manufacturer are more important than the writer and the artist.

Define "more important".

> Mothers may have careers, but their first duty is to be homemakers.

Question is... iffy. If by mothers one means women, disagree. If by mothers one means mothers, it's more up in the air.
