The above is a question from a local science exam.
A dropper is short glass tube with a rubber bulb at one end and a tiny hole at the other, for measuring out drops of liquids.
Is the question grammatical? I thought contraction of words should not be used in formal English especially in an exam.
How should the question be reworded?
Why can the dropper not draw the water?
Why is that the dropper cannot draw the water?
Do you say "draw up the water" or just "draw the water"(to a higher level)?
