Something is wrong here. First it tells me I'm wrong, then it tells me A is right, then it tells me A is wrong. Is this a glitch? See the screenshot

Nick, the right answer is C. It is a glitch that has been fixed but is waiting for Apple to approve.

Isn't equally an adverb since it modified 'shared' and don't adverbs go after the verb that they modify?

Jennifer, yes, "equally" is an adverb. Adverbs don't always go after the verb. Sometimes they go before the verb being modified.

I love hot dog and hamburger equally. I equally love hot dog and hamburger.

Both E and C sound right to me. What makes E the correct answer?

Actually, E is not the correct answer, because the subject is "ownership", which is singular, so the corresponding verb should be singular too: "is", not "are". The Correct Answer's explanation does a good job explaining this. Please read it prior to posting. Thanks.

Wait a second... The main part is "the material AND its means of distribution". This is MORE THAN ONE thing, so shouldn't (A) be seen as the right answer?

Reply: D is different from C
And D says "their's" instead of "it's" -which is wrong (D)
