Well, was tendon a choice?

That steak was sinewy. (Tough and robust)

Hershel Walker is very sinewy. (powerful and muscular)

I agree with Eric. This was a terrible question.

We tanked it, too. Crappy, crappy answer choices.

We were all on stringy. Even called it before the answers came up.

Believe it or not, stringy was not a choice. The four possible answers were:

powerful, robust
creepy
thin, limited
ghostlike

In my opinion, the question is okay.

I always thought sinewy met thin. You can see the sinews but not muscles.

It still was a BS question and answer. Mainly, because we missed it. :evil:

Nothing wrong with the question, but the answers are all wrong. Sinewy is the opposite of robust and is only incidentally "powerful' in the limited sense of holding together strongly (not being able to exert power like large muscles).
Of course, NTN got rid of the person who was correcting the errors and improving quality of questions early last summer, so we are probably just complaining to hear ourselves.

I respectfully disagree. The question and answers are okay.
