Who writes these test questions ???
Huh...?
Someone please help me with the rhetoric of this NFHS test question:
The state association may make a temporary adjustment for officials to wear which of the following?
a. Long-sleeved, all-white collared polo shirt.
b. Long-sleeved, all-white sweater.
c. Long-sleeved, all-white turtleneck under a polo shirt.
d. Long-sleeved, all-white collared polo shirt or white sweater with collared polo shirt only.
Okay... 2012-'13 NFHS Rules Book 5-2, Art. 1, Note 2:
The state association may make a temporary adjustment in the officials' uniform to permit the wearing of long-sleeved, all-white collared polo shirt or sweater to address cold conditions with competition facilities.
Uh... the Rules Book reads: "long-sleeved, all-white collared polo shirt OR sweater".
Option a. is out, since I can also wear a sweater, as indicated by the use of the word "or" in the Rules Book.
Option b. is out, since I can also wear a long-sleeved, collared white polo, without a sweater, as allowed by that word "or".
Option c. is out since the Rules do not include the word "turtleneck". Although a turtleneck can be a type of sweater.
And option d. implies wearing a white sweater with (not "or") collared polo shirt only. Only? Wait, but, again that word "or" implies a choice between the two...???
What is the freaking answer...???
Thank you,
Paul
