I'm afraid they will have marked it the easy way. They decide there is one right answer, and anything else is wrong. Nil points!

The fact that other interpretations could also be true gets ignored.

It comes from a system where a course is presented and the students must memorise it and trot it out parrot fashion to score points. Should any start to think during the process, they are headed for trouble.

AH- you mean the C & G way, where first you had to work out what the question was really asking, then work out how best to answer it.
