Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Why are examinations such a terror? Perhaps because chance plays such a great part in them. The examination paper is like lottery-uncertain, undependable. Them element of uncertainty and surprise is bound to shake the most confident examinee. Sometimes our nervousness is so great that we seem to forget our best prepared lessons. Before the examination, we feel sure of doing well. But once the question paper is before us our mind becomes perfectly blank. We fail to recall our most memorised lessons. Some candidates even faint in the examination hall. The question paper springs a complete surprise. None of the 'sure hints' over which we have spent days and nights appear in the examination. On the contrary, just those very topics which we left out as unimportant and unexpected stare us in the face. In Geography, we prepared the map of Europe but we are required to draw a free-hand map of Asia and the question is compulsory. Surely, the fates and their friend, the question-setter, have played a cruel joke on us. 

(A) Why are examinations considered to be a terror?

(B) How does chance play an important role in the examination?

(C) How do the fates and the question-setter play a cruel joke on the students?

(D) Suggest a suitable title for the above passage.
