Publix produce question-Did he answer wrong or right?

I asked how to store berries. The paperwork says: "Answer should be something like: For storing fresh, don’ t wash until you are ready to eat and keep them refrigerated." He only said 'Put them in the fridge. I think that's different enough to be wrong. Am I correct? I don't want to be invalidated for saying he was wrong and really he was right.

I think that is an incomplete answer and would mark it wrong. You might make a note if there is a place at the end of the form and explain why you marked it wrong.

I would indicate he answered it wrong but there's no place to put in any commentary.

Yeah it does give me a box to say something so I said, "He just said to put the berries in the fridge, but the answer should be something like: For storing fresh, don’t wash until you are ready to eat, and keep them refrigerated." I'm not ready to submit it yet though, making sure it's ok from people on here! I did get a shop invalidated once when I explained what someone did wrong. Turns out I did something slightly wrong, so now I'm paranoid of getting invalidated!

Often there is a non-verbal that completes an instruction such as a motion as if you were putting the package in the fridge. Sometimes there is just 'keep them in the fridge until you are ready to use them' with the implication to leave the package intact until you are ready to use them.

My fallbacks--was he trying to be helpful? did he seem to know what he was talking about? I would give him full credit and move on if these were the case,

IMHO, "wash them and put them in the fridge" would be wrong. "Just put the entire package in the fridge" would be right. So, the question comes down to the meaning of the word, "them". I would say that you got the truth, but not maybe the whole truth. Frankly, if it was a teenager, I would applaud that they knew anything and mark it correct. If it was a 50-year-old employee who seemed to be "one with the fruit", I would mark it wrong.

Maybe the problem is that the "correct" answer is clumsily worded.

When I bring packaged berries home from the grocery store, I put them as is in the refrigerator. They stay there until I am danged well good and ready to deal with them. When it is time to work with the berries I clean, trim, slice, dice, chop, freeze, or whatever suits me then.

Am I right? Am I wrong? Will the berry police come after me now? *runs, hides, pops out long enough to check 'fridge for any science projects I mean old berries and, finding none, returns to hiding place*

Personally I would mark it correct. Their example says -something like.
