Yesterday was my English exam, and there was a question that I disagreed on with all the English teachers in the school, so in order to know the exact correct answer, the best thing to do is to ask British people (I am Egyptian by the way). This is the question:
Begin the following phrase with the word "Books", so that it would give the same meaning:
-People still read books.
My answer: Books are still being read by people.
The teachers' answer: Books are still read by people.
There are only 2 students in the school that wrote my answer: Me and my friend, and we're both the best English students in the school. And I mean the BEST, there is no one else in the school that can be compared to us. While on the other hand, all 3 English teachers in the school say that the correct answer is the other one, so ?

Yeah, I don't need to....
suicide is the act of killing oneself.
"I'll commit suicide" is correct
ie.
I will commit [act]

"I'll commit a suicide" is grammatically incorrect.
Surely they can still award marks for questions that are essentially correct? It's not like it's an incorrect answer, afterall.
If you had written something along the lines of, "[In Russia]The books read themselves" then yes, you'd be incorrect.
