My goodness isn't this fun????
We can argue as much as we want, but even if we manage to beat each other into agreement on a single answer we will have achieved nothing useful.
We will still have no way of knowing what the examiner believes the correct answer to be. This is the fundamental point of my original post.
Although apparently simple, this is a very badly worded question. The fact that each of us believes that we have the (obviously) correct interpretation and cannot understand each others (irational) viewpoint, illustrates the ambiguity of the question.
As I said earlier, we can resolve the matter only by challenging the question whenever it appears in an exam. But we are likely to challenge it only if we can recognise the problem.
