It could have been a fun exercise on learning the difference between driving and riding a bike in English,
But this course deals with Bokmål. So the entire exercise should get deleted.

Dutch NL/BE-forum users: The Dutch I use is the so called ABN. I do not use any (mixed) Flemish.

could be, but humans also make errors, occasionally, typo's and forgetting words, like here : "last minute changes" setting a word in and forgetting to take one out.

I would rather think it's human, because in the last year I never had any of my AI's make any such a typo or sentence structure error, not in German, Dutch, Swedish, French, Spanish... not one, not once!

DL may claim they use AI, maybe to some degree, but I don't believe one second that they let it produce end-results like this one.

I needed to write a post on how I think this exercise should be handeled by DL and publish it on a forum used by DL-members.
Since the pulldown list upon reporting did not show the relevant reason, DL's robotics would never get triggered to delete the exercise.

By publishing it, BM-students can at least find a way to apply the 'correct' wrong answer 8-) .

Eng.: smart can also be a noun.
smart

noun

the stinging feeling left by a blow or the resentful feeling left by an insult
sviende smerte
He could still feel the smart of her slap/insult.

They're right that it's not a smart.

NL: Het S.M.A.R.T.-model (Management)
EN: The S.M.A.R.T.-model (Management)

Both have the same letters - even the article.
And the acronyme is the same too, even when expanded

Specifiek - Specific
Meetbaar - Measurable
Aanvaardbaar - Accceptable
Realistisch - Realistic
Tijdsbebonden - Time-bound / Timely
