The problem is Mike, most middle/senior schools in China test the students using these kinds of questions daily. And many of them are wrong (none of the four choices are suitable answers). For the students, they have no choice. They must choose one, or they'll fail the test. It's not a question of skill; it's just a question of choosing the answer that matches the questions setter's (wrong) answer!
In this case, however, 'these kinds of questions' are grammatical, albeit a level above the middle/senior school students' understanding. The real problem here is that students are not at the level required to know how to answer the questions. :)
