Question 1044. Now, I would like to ask you a few short questions like those you might see on a television game show. For each statement that I read, please tell me if it is true or false. If you don't know or aren't sure, just tell me so, and we will skip to the next question. Remember true, false, or don't know. k. How long does it take for the Earth to go around the Sun: one day, one month, or one year?
For further details see the official GSS documentation.
