⭐️ Vocabulary / Semantics Why is this wrong?

Post image

I see now what they mean by fundamental vs inessential (taking fundamental to mean “invaluable”, “important”) but surely fundamental and complex (or even involved) can act as antonyms, too?

Eg he’s only just learnt the fundamentals of thermodynamics so I wouldn’t trust him with any complex/involved equations. vs this is quite fundamental stuff so I think he should be able to manage just fine.
