Granted it's the French educational system but trying to protest in order to have a question in the English exam removed because you don't understand the meaning of 2 of the words?  noooo:

Quote

Students were given a passage from McEwan's 2001 bestseller concerning one of its protagonists, Robbie Turner, and were then asked to answer the following questions:

'What are three of his concerns about the situation?', and 'How is Turner coping with the situation?'.

This is basic English, concerns and coping are both commonly used words.
