It seems that choice 3 is actually choice 4.
This would be my guess. Or, perhaps choice 3 was simply removed and later choices were not renumbered.Or there is the possibility that choice n°3 will appears in the right circumstances... circumstances that haven't been discovered yet.
This would be my guess. Or, perhaps choice 3 was simply removed and later choices were not renumbered.
There are enough precedents for choices that only appear conditionally that I hope and expect we can handle this one correctly, even if we've never seen choice #3.
