I need help on some of TKT Module3 questions about correction.
The underlined parts have mistakes and I need to choose the types of mistakes.

All family went together to a house by the sea.
The answer is 'word missing'.

Then in the evenings we cooked a big dish.
The answer is 'wrong vocabulary'.

Some were horrible especially when brothers cooked chicken.
The answer is 'too many words'.

Without explanation about the right answers, I just don't understand why.
I'll appreciate if there's anybody helps me out with these Qs.

Not a teacher.
I'd use the article or a possessive pronoun in your first example.

The second might be "cooked a big meal".

I agree with Verona and bhaisahab about the first two. I simply cannot guess what the third is supposed to mean, or how it has 'too many words'. If anything, I'd say it had too few to make the meaning clear.
