Vocabulary question

[henryh]

Hello,

What am I exactly required to do when I read this in a form?

'Delete where applicable'

Does it mean that I should cross out the inappropriate one? Circle / Underline the correct one? / Mark whichever applies?

Why is it expressed like that?

Thanks.

It means you should cross out wrong options where such options are given.

Why? Sorry the only answer is - Because.
