> but ridiculous to put on a test that will define the lives of the people who have to answer it. Depends on how the question is graded and what the objective of the question it. I think it's a wonderful question, personally. It's not the type of question that you can just memorize the answer to, and then regurgitate on the test. You also can't just put down an answer that you think the testers are looking for, as you would on a question about, say, climate change or multiculturalism. So what's left? You use your brain, reason something, and then justify it. // No standardized test in grade 8 will define your life and certainly not any single question will make much difference.
