Grammar. It asked for the least correct, the choices were something with neither/nor, something is "badly" in need of revision, don't remember the others.

Their answer was that saying "Neither ... nor ... " together is wrong. I protested it but since I didn't bring a grammar guide with me I don't know if it would stand.

He acted "differently" when the detectives walked by the room AND a choice that had activity logs capitalized as Activity Logs! I picked the "differently" one and I guess I am wrong. They wanted the improper use of Standard Proper English. I say the neither/nor (the correct answer) and the capitalized Activity Logs both fit and if you chose Activity Logs, you got yourself a protest. Double answer.
I did not protest bc I didn't think I would win based on picking the choice with "acted differently". But if you picked "Activity Logs", I think you can easily argue those words should not be capitalized under "Standard Proper English".

Well then maybe the whole question should be a throw away, I just couldn't argue my answer was better or as good. But perhaps the correct answer is just wrong? That would make "Activity Logs" far and away the best answer.

If anybody got 83 wrong and didn't go to the protest yet, try protesting it and bring a credible grammar guide along with you.

As far as Neither/nor is concerned, someone at at upcoming protest should memorize the exact phrasing, so that follow-up, mail-in protests may be made.
does anyone remember what that was?
