Do you have a standardized test question that is based on a diagram, table or passage that makes no sense?
Francis sent this from the 2011 NY Regents (4th grade):
Not only is this diagram not drawn to scale, it is not drawn to life. Dragonflies do not eat cattails – they are predators (and prey!) just like that fish. For that matter, the Heron might be prey as well as predator, although according to this s/he is at the top of the food chain.

And why did they bother putting the Sun in the picture? So we know it’s daytime?
I would like to see that Heron try to eat that fish!

I’ve seen a heron choking on too big a fish!

That must be one those mutant Mosquitos they have there!

Just realised it is supposed to be a dragon fly, but even so it is huge compared to the bird and fish. Science is not my subject (obviously, considering my earlier mistake). But even a dumb psych. Lecturer can see this is all wrong!
