This comes from Matura exam in Poland from 2017. All exams from previous years are available on the official website cke.gov.pl, including the one from 2017.
The question in question is 9.1 on page 10. The instruction is in Polish, but it's a very simple one. Chose the sentence closest in meaning to the original.
9.1. No other boy in the team is a better player than Tom.
:cross:A) Tom isn't such a good player as the other boys in the team.
:cross:B) Some boys in the team are better players in the team.
:tick:C) Tom is the best player in the team.
Although C is closest in meaning, it doesn't have the same meaning. The original sentence allows a girl in the team to be better than Tom; option C doesn't.
Here's a modification I suggest:
9.1. No other boy in the team is a better player than Tom.
A) Tom isn't such a good player as the other boys in the team.
B) Some boys in the team are better players in the team.
C*) Tom is the best [STRIKE]player[/STRIKE] boy in the team.
Is my alternative, C*, correct? Does it have the same meaning as the original sentence?
