2 answers, one given as right
In the tests provided by Pates as practice, there was this question in one of the papers:
5 In each of the following pairs of words, take one letter from the first and add it to the second, without rearranging any of the other letters. Both new words must make sense. Identify the letter that moves and mark it on your answer sheet.
c bread ash
my son ticked "b" thinking that would leave "read" and "bash". However the answer given was "r" ("bead" and "rash").
If this is on the practice material it doesn't inspire confidence. How can one answer not be right when it IS right? How can one feel sure that this sort of anomaly isn't carried into the tests proper??

The answer page is marked electronically so feasibly there will only be one right answer to each question...let's hope the example you have found is just in the practice papers!
