In Monsters University (near the beginning) we are quickly shown an image of a test or quiz taken by Sulley. In the low quality version I watched, I can make out comments like "Zombie Sharks!?"

Are the actual test questions on the quiz readable, and if yes, what are they?

    The detail of "Human toxicity is treatable: True" is nice. The monster government put some thought into explaining why no-one you've met or heard of has ever actually died of human toxicity. Commented May 31, 2022 at 14:57
  • @Chessanator Does monsters university finally explain why the gov't implemented the human toxicity plan?

    How does 2 out of 6 correct answers result in a C-? That's a pretty generous grading curve there. 1/3rd of the answers correct should result in a solid F. I'd say maybe there were more pages, but seeing the picture on Valorum's answer, it's pretty clearly just the one. Commented Jun 1, 2022 at 20:37
  • @DarrelHoffman 0 correct obviously equals F-. So From Sully's grade we can deduce that 1 correct equals a D-, 2 correct equals C- (Sully's grade), 3 and 4 correct would be a B-, and A-, respectively (one full letter grade per question answered). That leaves 5 and 6 correct answers for an "A" and "A+" grade.

The question that provoked his teacher's response was

"All scare techniques are based on the various primal fears of humans. What is the basis of the Zombie Slouch?"

To which Sully has ticked "Sharks" rather than the correct answer (e.g. "Fear of the living dead")
