🙃 Confused

When is equivocating different terms ok?

Hi! Have noticed a trend among some of my recent wrong answers, wondering if anyone has any insights into this. Twice in one LR drill, I got the question wrong because I was unwilling to equivocate two terms. Ex: The stimulus was talking about “a new trend in the writing of history”, and the correct AC used the term “interpretation” to mean the said new trend. Again in that same section I missed a question talking about “experience” in the stimulus, with the correct AC using the word “expertise” instead. 

The first question was a MSS, and the second a PSA… both rated as lower difficulty levels. The correct ACs were the ones I had originally been drawn to on both, but steered away from due to not wanting to falsely equivocate different terms! Any insight into this or advice would be very helpful!

These questions both came from PT127.S3, questions 3 and 15
