Wasn't I generous? Allowing two answers!
Yes, both are perfectly fine and perhaps an oversight during development. Flashlight was actually my intended answer as this appears in Bond and Nfer papers and a lot of children are not familar with this term and that is refers to a torch
You will find that many exam papers have questions where two possible answers, sometimes even three, will 'work' but are not stated in the answer book. This is particularly true with the four letter hidden word questions and adding a letter to create two new words. As long as the word is a 'real word' (in the dictionary) please allow it and give your child the mark- and also praise them for finding more answers than the examiners themselves!
Perhaps we should start employing children as proof readers!

Sorry- I meant common as in its usage within 11plus question papers, not in our everyday languagecinnamon wrote:I wouldn't say flashlight is more common - it's an American usage. We would say torch, surely. Torchlight means something different (the light emitted by the torch).
