I got this multiple choice question wrong on a test. The exact scenario described in the question isn't important, so I'll just give you the gist of it.
Which of the following is LEAST POSSIBLE?
A. ---
B. ---
C. ---
D. A, B, and C are all equally possible
A describes a scenario that is IMPOSSIBLE
B and C describe scenarios that are possible, but B is less possible than C
A is the correct answer, however I think it's B. I think LEAST is a comparative adjective describing POSSIBLE, therefore it's comparing POSSIBLE things. I see the problem as comparing the set of all things possible, and from that set which is the least possible, having impossible things being in a separate set. Also, choice D would also have to be correct, as it is also IMPOSSIBLE for A, B, and C to be equally possible.
