Quiz 3: number of trees (question 11)

Quiz 3: number of trees (question 11)

Hello,


I was looking through solutions of Quiz 3 and noticed that the answer for question 11 is 4 even though there are no lexical rules for words for and on (the sentence is ``the postman ran the letter for the drinks on the friends'') defined previously. Is this an accidental omission or should we have considered that given rules are only a subset of a bigger lexicon that has the missing rules?


Thank you

AHH!!! Very good point!

Despite the 3 of us (TA included) read the quiz several times, none of us noticed that unattended omission.
And it explains why 33% of you did answer 0 (which we didn't understand).
Our very bad!! Sorry for that!

I'll change it soon and make the 0 answer a good answer as well and republish the grades.
Sorry again.
