Quizes... Wrong?

I noted that the quiz about Sauron had a wrong answer... AT least, I think so, though I would not know becuase I am a novice.

Sauron did not 'die' in the sense of that world as applied to Maiars by Huan captain of Hounds, he just turned into a vampire and flew away after Huan released him.

Says otherwise in the quiz.

Hm, you're right.

...but he could not elude the grip of Huan without forsaking his body utterly. Ere his foul spirit left its dark house, ... [Luthien] said, "There everlastingly thy naked self shall endure the torment of his scorn, pierced by his eyes, unless thou yield to me the mastery of the tower."
Then Sauron yielded himself, ... and Huan released him. And immediately he took the form of a vampire, ... and he fled, ... and came to Taur-nu-Fuin, and dwelt there, ...

He almost had to leave his body but he never did.
