While taking a business test last night, I knew almost all of the answers without a problem. I didn't understand one though, and that was to define a contingency plan. My mind went blank. Hating to not write anything at all, I simply wrote, "A plan that is contingent." Duh...
Which lead me to think about other dumb answers people put on tests.
My all time worst?
We had a test on a novel in a high school English class of mine. Unfortunately, I had only skimmed the novel...well, just parts of the novel. I thought my answers didn't sound half bad though...
However, one answer was pretty lame and proved I did not read the book.
She pointed to my answer of how one character died. I wrote that it was a car accident. My teacher informed me that during the time the story was set in, cars hadn't been invented yet.
Oops!
Got any good ones to share??
