Voting for things we are fond of leads me to A, especially as I have a heavy weekend of sampling the results of the fermentation process ahead of me (just some chance juxtoposition on the social calendar). My wife's birthday present to me, if I can persuade her, will be her saying "It's all right dear, I'll drive!".

As a beer lover I vote for (a), which leads me to wonder if Zima is produced by a zumic process?

It has to be e, doesn't it/ h has a great deal of appeal, except that it is terribly racist, and whoever posted it should be ashamed!

I have little clue for this one - apart from simply not believing E. Quite like the pair about rocks or geology; but I am going to take a guess on A, based purely on the fact that no-one but the dictionary or tsuwm would use the phrase "pertaining to..." (and if it's tsuwm's cunning stunt, he's earned the points!)
