Question 3

Accepted Answer

'Appropriate' tests whether an action is right in context; 'important' tests how much weight it should carry among multiple actions

They are identical in meaning

'Appropriate' uses a 3-point scale; 'important' uses a 5-point scale

Answer

'Important' questions only appear in Set B
