<p>Will they ever have an answer that makes sense, but is incorrect due to inappropriate usage of the word?</p>
<p>You’re instructed to choose the best answer. There are always answers that make “sense”.</p>
<p>And how would an answer make sense if it’s the inappropriate usage of the word? Can you give an example?</p>
<p>If you mean “inappropriate usage” as in the wrong part of speech, then no. The parts of speech are always appropriate.</p>
<p>No no… I mean… </p>
<p>I can’t think of a good example. But maybe this will at least show you what I mean.<br>
pinpoint and diagnose both can mean “to find the identity of something.” However, you can pinpoint a criminal, but you can’t diagnose a criminal. though by definition it makes sense, it doesn’t due to the inappropriate usage of the word. </p>
<p>of course these words are really simple, but when memorizing hard words, we may be unconscious of using the word inappropriately. So will test makers ever test this concept of “using the word appropriately”?</p>
<p>how a word is used is part of its definition. the definition of “diagnose” specifically includes “as a disease” so that its purpose is clear. no 2 words mean exactly the same thing. there is always a clear answer if the definition is known. they would never put 2 words, for the same question, whose definitions are not clearly stated in the dictionary. the wrong answer choices are always wrong by definition or parts of speech</p>
<p>they wont trick you if you know the definitions of the words</p>
