May I ask which key you are talking about? If you are referring to the
answers posted on the Yoel Geva website et al, these are not official answer
keys! The official answer key will only be known on May 31 at the
"tidruch".
And even these answers are subject to change, as per the feedback of Bagrut
examiners who suggest alternative answers which might eventually be accepted
and incorporated into the official answer key.
So hold your horses before you assume that a certain answer is wrong!!

You are definitely right! My two top students in terms of English knowledge
this year (F) guessed wrong twice in both matkonot (they gave an answer I
would have accepted as logical, but according to the key it was WRONG) and
therefore got a grade in the low eighties (minus 16 points!), while a genius
with very poor English "guessed right" and got a similar, but undeserved
grade (due to all the English mistakes in his writing, he did not get a
higher grade).It is an intelligence test, which is absolutely infuriating.
Why should they learn correct English, if that does not guarantee them a
good grade????

chaotic and less of a language test and more of an intelligence test?
