This one doesn't make sense because it says Hank could could afford to go to a private university, but in the answer he attended a private university. Hellooooo...

The answer does not make any sense. Hank applied but decided NOT to attend the private college so how can the answer have him do so?
The given answer is incorrect, since it is stated that Hank could not afford to go to the private college. Hank goes to the state college, Alan goes to the private college. Everything else is ok.
Why aren't their first names told in the intro?
