I got 92% and I totally agree with you. There's no such thing as "suction", it's higher pressure moving to a lower pressure zone, so the answer really is the atmospheric pressure pushing the air in, because the piston creates a low pressure zone.

I answered suction though because I figured the test was like forest gump -"stupid is as stupid does".

and I was confused about the pulleys a bit too.
