Thank you very much for that Quizmonkey. I actually studied Hard Times for my English A Level exam, but in my defence, it was 45 years ago, and remembering what I did yesterday causes sufficient problems these days!!
Dodgy question! The facts line may well be a motto in the book but it's just the opinion of Gradgrind. The motto OF the book ((ie. what Dickens was saying) is as I wrote above. Given the vague wording of the question, I can't see how they can mark either wrong.
