That's what it looks like to me.  This would be the simple supported beam in the appendix where R=wl/2. 

I should have used this rather than the moment equation which would have been a bit quicker. :)  
Whoops...

It only took me 10x looking at that sketch to realize that pinned connection. Another silly mistake to avoid during the real thing this Friday. Thanks for your help @Castaway81

 
I am glad you brought it up as I wasn't even paying close attention to the end connections either.   I think my biggest focus going into Friday is making sure I don't make any small mistakes.   Especially since you know that answer will be one of the options.  Best of luck with the rest of your preparation.   

 
I think its been answered before.

Someone said (C) - 0.5.
