Please I absolutely object to the answer to this question.
Even during the exam, I had to guess the meaning of the phrase from the word checkered(spelt in BrE above) which literally meant mixed colors.
Now, after consulting my dictionary, I have concrete proof that the answer to this question as given here is wrong.
Please help us to make appropriate changes.
Thank you.
