Stop digressing into individual topics.  He just gave one thing as an example, as I'm sure there's no shortage of heresies being taught at your average Novus Ordo High School.
In this example there is an out that is provided by the Baltimore Catechism. It is not a heresy to say that a person who is afflicted by an invincible ignorance can be saved if he has good will. the angels sang, "et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis." which means "and on earth peace to men of good will."

But it is a LIE to falsify Scripture.

I know the Baltimore catechism answer isn’t well liked here, and Catholic in America doesn’t agree with it (which removes that option) but I have a hard time even pigeonholing that answer as a “false” answer to the quiz question.  It’s more like “true, unless”

UPDATE: 

Took test today and I think the teacher purposefully worded every question as: “kreeft says” or “the textbook says”. Turns out I didn’t have to get any one “wrong” in their eyes. Thanks for the good advice.

This school needs to do a better job of teaching you composition skills, IMHO.
