Misconception bank

Each row below is a plausible wrong answer, the thinking that produces it, and the remedy that corrects the misconception. These are the foundation of the multiple-choice framing and the targeted feedback a student receives after answering.

kill daemon

Misconception. daemon is a job name, not a PID; kill expects PID or %N.

Remedy. Show kill %1 vs kill <PID> forms.

stop %1

Misconception. stop is not a command.

Remedy. Terminate = kill. Remember "kill" doesn't always mean SIGKILL.
