Hello! I am a bit confused by the condition “write no more than 3/2 words”. You see, I use online practice tests from a website, and there I often have the following problem: I either write less words than in the “right answer”, or more. Like, today there was a sentence: “Over the next three weeks, Sereno and Garcea – along with five American excavators, five Tuareg guides, and five soldiers from Nigeria’s army, sent to protect the camp from bandits — made a detailed map of the site, which they dubbed Gobero, after the Tuareg name for the area.” The question: “What did Sereno and Garcea produce in the initial weeks before digging work? NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER” I answered “a detailed map”, meanwhile the correct answer was just “a map”. I may have answered “a site map”. Okay, maybe I have to only answer questions like that as shortly as possible, but I also saw a reverse situation. So my question is, how to answer such questions? I will appreciate you sharing your experience of a real test.
