Incorrect Answer to Question in Intro to Splunk (eLearning)
The question is "Which of the following searches will return results containing the phrase "failed password"?
A: failed password
B: `failed password`
C: "failed password"
😧 (failed password)
The quiz says that A is the correct answer, when the answer should be C. Without quotes you will get events with failed and password in them, but not necessarily as a PHRASE as the question states. Could this please be corrected? I was struggling to get 100% on this quiz until I found a Reddit post showing the answer to this question has been incorrect for at least 7 months.

Looks like the question was modified since your post last year. Now the question is :
Which of the following searches will return results containing the terms failed, password, or failed password?
- failed OR password
- failed password OR "failed password"
- fail*
- failed OR password OR "failed password"
This still is confusing because I'm also not getting 100% which is mandated by my client. Fine.. but Even two different AI's are giving me mixed answers: D should be the only correct answer. Some others point that A&D are and one says only A. I got time, I'm doing them all until I can zero in on the correct answer..still not getting it.
Systematically retaking the exam I got 100% with answer choice:
(D) failed OR password OR "failed password"
Raspberries to you!
