Mitch, This is is an excellent question. They are graded by real live and breathing (we at least hope so) Proctor and not a machine. Indeed, it does open an interesting question - how correct your answer should be. [shameless plug] While we do cover this in our VoD, AoD and live courses, here's the quick answer: Answer needs to show that you know what you're talking about. Apart from those answers provided in OEQ booklet, I can think of few more that will prevent prot from becoming trunk (i.e. making it go err-disable for whatever reason), but they are not really relevant. Do not overthink the questions. Answer the correct one and if you feel that you need to expand, do it.... but beware - Proctors read answers. If you say something wrong in the "expansion", you may lose points.
