I like the idea, but I have a couple gripes. I think you should accept plesiosaur for the first question. Also, mosasaurus is misspelled, it should have an "a" instead of the second "o".

I appreciate your comments. I changed moso to mosa and added the other reptile to number one.

tried to add your second answer idea to Paired Characters but couldn't make it work right. I deleted and redid it, and it's pending now. Thanks for the input.

No dimetrodon? There's no need to limit yourself to reptiles in a "not a dinosaur" quiz!

Also, "construed" isn't really the word that you're looking for. How about "Name ten prehistoric animals that are popularly mistaken for dinosaurs"?

I will change the word construed.

The reason I didn't put dimetrodon in was because it didn't live during the dinosaur ages of Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. I will, however, add an amendment to the directions.
