sometimes in gmat quant questions , for a question like 2+2 = ?, i see the answer choices written as A) one B) two C) three D) four E) five rather than A) 1 B)2 C)3 D)4 E)5
i was wondering why you did that, because what if i do get an easy question like that and see the answer is 4, but go to my answer choices and pick "five" by accident because it's also 4 letters and starts with f. That sudden change of seeing words rather than numbers throws off test takers, especially since this is a test of time. I think you should be consistent in your style.
note: heres a question that uses words rather than #'s in the answer choices... O.G.Thirteenth ed. # Fifty
