COMMAND WORD · BIOLOGY
Recall the fact these three words are asking for, and do not explain it unless the question adds that.
Find the exact slot, give the precise term, then stop.
Original question
Name the vessel that carries blood from the small intestine to the liver.
Annotated answer

If one term answers the question, do not add a paragraph.
Writing “a vein in the liver” and never naming the vessel.
