Yes, yes, yes. I think sometimes those tests, especially reading tests, are written to test certain kinds of texts and reading strategies. I am in TX, and my friends who teach in public schools complain that much of their professional development centers on strategies for passing the state tests.
I still want to believe that the Kansas exam had a mis-keyed item on the answer key. If not, imagine the consequences if several similarly ambiguous items were on an exam that determines whether a student is working at grade level. Equally frightening would be the possibility that the results come with a diagnostic feature. If the student misses comparable questions on the difference between active and passive voice, then the student could be "remediated." What a waste.
