I found this question and I think it's really clever. (This is from a practice question for the Australian Teriary Admissions Test).



[Poll #1011321]


The finger-print is known around the world, and its suggestions and significance can be interpreted from a range of different cultural perspectives. The image plays the apparent anonymity of a faceless, nameless human figure against the unique personal identity embodied by the fingerprint. Identifying the correct response depends on the candidate's ability to perceive this paradox within the image and then work out its most likely meaning. Distractors A and B are wrong because neither captures this central feature of the image; in fact, the uniqueness of a fingerprint suggests rather the opposite of conformity or disguise. D is wrong because the relationship between uniqueness and anonymity is reversed; it is the uniqueness that is fundamental and real rather than the anonymity.
