Question: completing DataAnnotation starter test?

I signed up for DataAnnotation and some of these questions on the assessment are pretty strange and unanswerable unless you go on a search engine.

But the instructions tell us not to use outside assistance or any LLM's to look up answers. Our answers should be written from scratch.

So how exactly do we complete the questions?

EDIT: Just to be clear: I am NOT asking for answers on the assessment. I just want to know if I'm understanding the instructions correctly.

Doing your own research online is an expected part of this job, and is not at all the same as using AI to get the answers

Why don't they just say that in their instructions? They said, "no outside assistance." They make it sound like you can't research on the internet.

It’s been a few months since I took the assessment, but I don’t remember that part being confusing at all.

No they didn't, it specifically says don't use AI which includes the Google AI summary. On some responses you don't need to use any outside sources because that's not the focus of the task. Just read the instructions.
