Quiz for General Conference

Every six months, I make a quiz from the Sunday session of General Conference for my seminary class. Here is the April 4, 2010 quiz. Remember, I was typing this quiz from live TV, so forgive me if the paraphrasing is not quite perfect. You can always wait until the transcripts come out on the internet or in the Ensign and correct anything that needs correcting.
