This seems too hard. Why would they teach this I wonder?
I use all the bottom words because I'm in the US, but I would still understand someone if they used the British words. As long as you can communicate it should be fine... but I guess they want to teach super precise English, hmm.

I'm the same as you think. But maybe there are some words let people understand differently. Such as trousers and pants?

So I just try to disambiguate now rather than use them exactly.

Oh ok.
Many foreign people have very good English. It's impressive to me because in the US we are bad at teaching foreign languages
