But if you did randomly choose the 0% option, you'd be correct. So if one of the possible answers was 0% the correct answer would be 25%.

But it wouldn't be correct, so 0% would remain the answer.

The point is that it can't be the answer if it's an option.

But the teacher can't mark it wrong, making it right.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, they can. That's the problem with it being an option.

If they mark it wrong, and all the others, if chosen, are wrong, then your answer was right and they would have to fix their mistake. That wave collapses to there being 0% chance of being right.
