Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.

Correct answer to question 64 (Hazardous Materials): Refuse the shipment until the papers properly and specifically identify the material being carried

Why

A vague description defeats the entire purpose of hazard communication, since nobody down the line, including responders, could tell what's actually being carried; the shipment needs a proper, specific description before it moves.
