The Ministry of Education and Training agrees with both answers.

On the afternoon of July 5, the Ministry of Education and Training informed that after the Professional Council reviewed the exam answers and decided to change the English exam answers. Specifically, the answer to question 50, code 409 (the order of this question can change according to different exam codes) of the English exam has 2 correct options, B and C.

"Candidates who choose one of the two options will be recognized as choosing the correct answer," the Ministry of Education and Training stated.

Answers to 24 English exam codes for high school graduation exam.

Previously, many teachers argued that the English question for the 2023 high school graduation exam required candidates to find the word that needed to be corrected in the sentence: "Their pioneering (A) research showed that the learning motivation of the two groups of learners was quite distinctive (B) from each other, and the comparative (C) group whose learning motivation was stronger performed better than the control (D) group".

The official answer of the Ministry of Education and Training is B. However, teachers believe that both B and C are correct in this sentence. The word "distinctive from" (B) does not have a meaning in the Cambridge and Oxford dictionaries. The dictionary explains "distinctive" as characteristic, typical, often combined with nouns and not with "from". The correct usage is "distinct from".

If you choose answer C from "comparative group" it will also be accepted because this word uses the wrong term, more suitable should be "comparison group".

Teachers said that the Ministry of Education and Training should consider both correct answers, because this question accounts for 0.2 points, although small, it will affect the university admission opportunities of many students.

In addition to the above question, many teachers also debate the answer to question 18 of test code 401 when asked to fill in the blanks: The journalist is talking about having a new______ published in the local newspaper next week.

The four suggested answers are: A. editor; B. documentary; C. cartoon; D. article. The teacher said that candidates choosing C or D are both correct.

Article (answer D) is suitable for the subject "journalist". However, answer C - cartoon (cartoon/comic/comic) can also be suitable for "published in the local newspaper". This is one of many items that often appear in foreign newspapers. Therefore, the answer "cartoon" sounds awkward but is not wrong in terms of both content and grammar.

After receiving the information, the Ministry of Education and Training confirmed that D - article is the correct answer. Specifically, "cartoon" means a cartoon (a film that is made by photographing a series of drawings - Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English). With this meaning, "cartoon" does not fit the context of "newspaper".
