In my opinion, just because the throw-in becomes one that has the running privilege, doesn't mean that designating a spot for it originally wasn't part of the process. The question in the OP is asking how we are to designate the throw-in location. The answer is the nearest spot to the violation.

It's just a bad question. Basket interference and goaltending happen in the paint. "Nearest spot to the violation" would be in the paint. When that happens the player is moved to the lane line extended as you know. The throw in doesnt start at the "nearest spot to violation." If they are testing knowledge they should have said "designated spot throw-in." Hard to say what they mean by saying designated spot for the throw in.
