One of your answers was wrong. No. 3 should be: "The point which appears to have the greatest mass".

Otherwise a good quiz.

Just thought I should mention that in many mark schemes I have seen you need to mention that the centre of mass = where the object's mass is THOUGHT/SEEMS to be concentrated.

Other than that - Great Test!! =)
