Follow Up Questions:
Which is most difficult? Most easy?

 Since the fourth item has the highest correct rate of 100% and the second item has the lowest correct
rate of 33%, the fourth item has the lowest difficulty and the second item has the highest difficulty.
Which needs revision? Which should be discarded? Why?
 Because item 2 is too difficult, item 2 should be discarded. Item 4 is to low and item 2 needs revision.
