Craft and Structure practice question
The assembly instructions were so ____ that even experienced technicians had to read them twice before starting.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- A. convolutedCorrect
- B. concise
- C. lucid
- D. brief
Answer: A. convoluted
Instructions that experienced people must read twice are hard to follow. 'Convoluted' — tangled and complicated — fits that result.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. concise
- 'Concise' means short and clear. Clear instructions wouldn't need a second reading.
- C. lucid
- 'Lucid' means easy to understand — the opposite of what the sentence describes.
- D. brief
- 'Brief' is about length, not difficulty, and short instructions wouldn't force a re-read.
