My view about the OMM exam

We just finished the exam about 15 minutes ago and you know I think I really have a problem about how I think about answering. Maybe how I think about the question because the first time that I read the question I am very confused about how I answer this question. The question is "Is the shooting Candy's dog presented as a good act or bad act?" first I thought it meat in the part that Carlson shot the dog is presented as a good acting or a bad acting, so I planed to answer that it is really good because the writer had wrote this part very clear and he gave many detail to make the ready to follow his idea easily. Moreover, In this part really show about the Candy's feeling that he extremely sad and unhappy because he had petted this dog since it was a pup. They had been the best friend for long time. You can see their relationship in many part of the novel. this is my first answer than I reviewed and thinking again and again what the question is because I am not clear about the meaning in the question, after a few minutes, I changed my mind I had to think about a new answer because I thought the question what to know about this act that they shot the old dog is good or bad to do, so I made a new answer and I decided to answer that it is good to shoot the old dog for three reason, however, I think it is not good for the owner of the old dog, Candy. After I finished my writing, I checked with my class mate and they said that is the way they answer too.
