TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Right-o! Never hurriedly dismiss an understated question in an
open-ended test. These ambiguities provide the opportunity to make
questions anything you want them to be. Acknowledge the gaps, state your
assumptions and build your case on that basis.

Of COURSE the task needed clarification. If I set such a task I would
be almost more interested in how the respondent clarified the task for
himself/herself than in the definition and recommendations.
It's not a writing test, as others have noted, except that it provides a
quick check of grammaticality under pressure. It's a test of
organization, thinking, originality, and prioritization. I suspect that
someone who complained that the task was undefined might be eliminated
from consideration.
