I genuinely don't know what it means without context, but it's clearly not the former interpretation.

No, "reinterpretations" aren't allowed; please engage directly with what is written in the text.

Your assertion that only originalism interpretations are valid is nonsensical.

That is TEXTUALISM gaaahGG

Originalism would include considering what the makers of the test meant for the question to mean, not what "directly....written in the text"

Wrong again; that's original intent, a very rare form of originalism. Most originalists rely on "original understanding."
