Multi Engine magnetos. Which is faulty?

Recently i have started to prepare myself for ME rating, so i have started to read Jeppesen ME book. After aircraft systems chapter there have being a small quiz. And i cant understand one of the questions:

While performing a magneto check on a multi-engine airplane equipped with
toggle-type switches, the engine dies when you actuate the left magneto switch on
the left engine. Which magneto is faulty?

I have answered the right on left engine, and it was right answer, but

On a multi-engine airplane equipped with paddle-type ignition switches, the engine dies when you select the left position on the left engine ignition switch.
Which magneto is faulty?

I have answered the same, but it was wrong. The correct answer was the left magneto on the left engine.

Why? I cant get it, even text book doesn't explain it.

Please, would you please explain me this answer.

Thank you guys.
