I advise them to close their eyes and put their finger on an answer. (Joking!!) :wink:

Take for example, a recent test paper I saw the other day. The passage began like this:

Quote:
When Jill was a boy, he always liked and watched radios very much.
(Those are the exact words, I noted them down.)
Others have commented on the "boy named Jill" thing, but I wonder why he liked watching radios. Most people listen to the radio. They don't watch it.
