[Tdol]

I for one do not see a problem with the test. Sorry.

a. misfortune b. sorrow
1. He believed that the greatest of his misfortune was that he'd never had a college education.
Sorrows are feelings quantified as being deep, not great.

Wouldn't you use the plural, though, or say 'his greatest misfortune'? I would.

How does one advise these students on the choice between incorrect answers. :?

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:

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.
