Granted it's the French educational system but trying to protest in order to have a question in the English exam removed because you don't understand the meaning of 2 of the words?  noooo:

Quote
Students were given a passage from McEwan's 2001 bestseller concerning one of its protagonists, Robbie Turner, and were then asked to answer the following questions:

'What are three of his concerns about the situation?', and 'How is Turner coping with the situation?'.

This is basic English, concerns and coping are both commonly used words.

The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.
