[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Except that when you know what a word means, you don't need evidence for the meaning from a text unless the meaning is ambiguous. Yes context has a time and place, especially when a word has an ambiguous or uknown meaning, but it does not create reality, nor should kids be taught that it does. [/quote] Who is teaching kids that it does? Did the test question use the word incorrectly?[/quote] No, the test asks which excerpt is evidence for the meaning. There were two that were related to the meaning, neither being more correct than the other for knowing the meaning. And if a kid already knows the meaning, it's a pointless exercise for them to guess which excerpt the question-writer thinks is legitimate evidence for the word between the two excerpts that were related to the word (I believe for the word recurrence one excerpt had to do with a repeated sound stopping and the other with a repeated sound continuing).
