When I went to the proctor, it was for clarification of the verbiage.
The test is a really a reading comprehension test. The question is
worded in such a way to leave very few possibilities without giving
away the answer. It has to be this way so they can test your
knowledge. It took me awhile to fully understand this, but once I did,
it made the lab much simpler.
So If you don't understand the question, you need to ask the proctor
to clarify, but you have to demonstrate "you know the technology".
For example.
Step 19: Pick a fruit that is red and used to make a number of sauces.
You might be thinking Apple and you would have been wrong. So you
might ask the proctor questions like:
Q: Could this fruit also be a Green fruit when ripe or would it
strictly be red when ripe?
This demonstrates that you know your fruits and that you know there
are several choices (Apple or Tomato), you are just trying to clarify
which fruit it is without asking. You could just ask "are they asking
me to pick an Apple?" but the proctor is more than likely going to
tell you to re-read the question or go pound sand. If you had no idea
that the Tomato was technically a fruit, you'd be sunk, hence the
ambiguity of the wording of the questions. It's to test your level of
knowledge of the material.
I hope this helps.

P.S. The answer is the Tomato.
