Should I laugh or cry?

I started to cry.

Damon: Reading the choices of answers, your question makes sense. Then re-reading the question, makes one laugh and cry. Wondering where the question writer was "educated". Could have been Texas Tech.

I’m confused on why there is a conversation about crying or laughing- isn’t the question about Augustus??
