Solution
The answer is C: Be somewhat difficult.
Explanation for each option:
A: Be written by your teacher - While teachers often write test questions, the focus here is on the difficulty level of the questions, not who writes them.
B: Be as easy as possible - Test questions that are too easy may not effectively assess a student's understanding or ability to apply knowledge.
C: Be somewhat difficult - This is the best choice because test questions should challenge students to think critically and demonstrate their understanding, without being overly difficult.
D: None of these - This option is incorrect because option C provides a suitable answer regarding the difficulty level of test questions.
In summary, test questions should be somewhat difficult to effectively evaluate students' knowledge and skills.
