Answer: She will either lose her brothers or her betrothed/ fiancé

Explanation:

The question is in relation to a painting called<em> Oath of the Horatii</em> that depicts the Horatii brothers pledging to fight to the death for the glory of Rome. It is based on a legend that 3 Horatii brothers from Rome would fight 3 Curiatii brothers from Alba Longa to decide a winner between the two cities in an ongoing dispute. This way they would not have to send both their armies and therefore save life.

As the brothers salute their father, their sister weeps because she is betrothed to one of the Curiatii brothers. This means that she is a loser in this dispute because she will either lose her brothers if the Curiatii kill them or she will lose her betrothed if her brothers kill the Curiatii.

She ends up twice the loser however as her surviving brother returns home and kills her when he sees her mourning her betrothed and cursing Rome.

Answer:

The correct answer is: False – but he failed his first university entrance exam.

Explanation:

The rumor about failing a math test is incorrect.

Einstein was a great mathematician and at his young age, he reached a high mathematical level by himself.

On the other hand, it is true that he failed his first entrance exam for the prestigious Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich. Although he was two years younger than other students he passed Physics and Math tests but failed at the general examination, so this was the reason he was not admitted to the university.

Instead of Zurich, he began his studies at the Argovian Cantonal School, located in the northern part of Switzerland. After finishing the Argovian Cantonal School, Einstein enrolled in Mathematics and Physics program in Polytechnic School in Zurich and got his degree in 1900.
