What kind of exam asks for the meaning of the word "everywhere"? Doesn't everyone know that when you have an age where you can participate in an exam?
It says it's for Romanian students and is in the Romanian language, so it doesn't look like it's a foreign language to them but their native language.
- ubernostrum 10y agoIn English, a lot of standardized exams look for knowledge of lesser-known synonyms or variants of words; it's quite possible we're getting an article here which translates the words to a more common English variant for easier understanding. For example, a similar article translated to Romanian might claim English-language students were tested on knowing a word for "rural" (simplified translation) but the exam actually used "bucolic" (a word which I know has been part of the GRE vocabulary in the past).
