I have read and re-read the question, and Lesley's response.
I would say that the question is indeed ambiguous. I am sure Lesley is
correct in her interpretation and I would have taken that view, but it is an
interpretation. It is possible to construe it as meaning "Do you agree with
the statement that Oliver Cromwell described.....etc" In that context,
Frank's answer is perfectly relevant. It may be he ought to have addressed
both issues. In my view his dyslexia is not an issue here. As framed, it is
a bad question.
