For #2, the second answer cannot be true by the rules of baseball: there are no "ties". If the game is tied, they go into extra innings until it is no longer tied.

However, the testmakers seem to want you to answer "all of the above". Feh.

Okay, that would require me to have knowledge of the rules of baseball. Since I'm thoroughly disinterested in sports that one flew right past me.

Actually, no, all the information required is in the statement of the problem. I'd actually forgotten that there are no ties in baseball, and just reacted to the "Given that if A then B then which statements about A and B follow?" construction. So the question could've been about jai-lai or MTG or ... that game played in lunar gravity with lasers and mirrors that I've forgotten the name of ... or any other sport I don't know, and I would've gotten the same answer.

Nope, they weren't looking for "all of the above" there. Hint: the question asked, "what else must also be true?"
