Answers

  1. C. He died at the beginning of the film – Dr. Malcolm Crowe was shot dead by his former patient Vincent Grey in the opening scene and remains a ghost unseen by others throughout the film. The other options are fabrications not present in the story.
  2. C. The unnamed narrator’s split personality – Tyler Durden is the hallucinatory alter ego of the insomniac narrator, who shoots himself to merge the personalities. He is not Marla’s ex, a boss, or merely a leader.
  3. B. Keyser Söze – Verbal Kint fabricates his story from office bulletin board items and escapes as the legendary crime lord Keyser Söze. He is not an agent, brother, or bystander.
  4. C. It is actually Earth – Taylor finds the half-buried Statue of Liberty, revealing the "planet of the apes" is a post-apocalyptic Earth. The other options contradict the film’s conclusion.
  5. C. Norman Bates, impersonating his mother – Norman has murdered and assumed his mother’s personality, as shown in the psychiatric reveal. Marion, Sam, and Arbogast are victims or unrelated.
  6. C. Tracy’s severed head – John Doe delivers Tracy’s head to represent the sin of envy, provoking Mills to kill him and complete the sins. It is not Mills’s badge, a confession, or a bomb.
  7. C. Tesla’s cloning machine – Angier uses the machine to create clones of himself, drowning the originals each time. Doubles, trapdoors, and illusions are Borden’s methods or incorrect.
  8. B. He is actually patient Andrew Laeddis – "Teddy" is a delusion; he is inmate Andrew Laeddis, who killed his wife. He is not a marshal, did not kill his partner, nor is the island a dream.
  9. B. The corpse in the middle of the room – The "dead" body rises as Jigsaw, Adam and Dr. Gordon’s captor. The others are trapped victims or deceased investigators.
  10. B. He faked his multiple personality disorder – Aaron reveals he is sane and manipulated everyone, admitting to the murder. He is not innocent, a son, or motivated by money.
  11. B. They are the ghosts haunting the house – Grace killed her children and herself; they haunt the living family who move in later. The servants are not intruders, and it’s not a nightmare.
  12. C. Billy Loomis and Stu Macher – Sidney’s boyfriend Billy and his friend Stu are the Ghostface killers in a murder spree. The others are survivors or victims.
  13. C. It is modern-day America, protected by a fence – The elders created the village myth in present-day USA to escape crime. Monsters are costumes, not medieval or real.
  14. C. He accidentally killed her with insulin overdose – Leonard’s wife survived the attack but died from his extra insulin shots due to her diabetes; he has manipulated his memory since. Others are his delusions.
  15. B. She is his daughter – Oh Dae-su’s captor forces incest by revealing Mi-do is his daughter from a one-night stand. No other relations apply.
  16. B. They occur within the mind of a man with dissociative identity disorder – The victims are personalities of death-row inmate Malcolm Rivers. It is not supernatural, a convention, or a dream.
  17. B. He is framed as a terrorist and dies in the explosion – Faraday’s warnings are twisted, leading to his death in the FBI bombing. He does not save, join, or escape.
  18. B. A role-playing game orchestrated by Nicholas’s brother – Conrad hires CRS to stage the "game" for Nicholas’s birthday to shake his life. It is not real, government, or hallucinated.
  19. B. A 33-year-old woman with a growth hormone disorder – Esther is adult Leena with hypopituitarism, posing as a child killer. She is not a true orphan, witch, or time-traveller.
  20. B. Part of a ritual sacrifice controlled by a secret organisation – The facility manipulates events worldwide to appease ancient gods. It is not zombies, aliens, or military.
