Glove drops from a car on a bridge

Common sensehardquick checkPrompt in Englishmultiple choicedistractors

What it tests: Ignoring irrelevant vectors (river, wind, car speed): the glove falls onto the bridge.

Prompt length: 763 characters, roughly 190 tokens (estimate).

Prompt
A luxury sports-car is traveling north at 30km/h over a roadbridge, 250m long, which runs over a river that is flowing at 5km/h eastward. The wind is blowing at 1km/h westward, slow enough not to bother the pedestrians snapping photos of the car from both sides of the roadbridge as the car passes. A glove was stored in the trunk of the car, but slips out of a hole and drops out when the car is half-way over the bridge. Assume the car continues in the same direction at the same speed, and the wind and river continue to move as stated. 1 hour later, the water-proof glove is (relative to the center of the bridge) approximately
A. 4km eastward
B. <1 km northward
C. >30km away north-westerly
D. 30 km northward
E. >30 km away north-easterly.
F. 5 km+ eastward

How to grade it

B (less than 1 km northward). The glove drops onto the bridge deck, not into the river, and stays there; the river and the car's speed don't move it.
