An alarming number of NYC students have scored three or more “zeroes” for their writing answers on the statewide English exams,

Shouldn't that be, "for their WRITTEN answers"?

Susan is a slow learner evidently, but her goof is ironic nonetheless.

Usually, but they are talking about the "writing section". In that context it makes sense.

It would have been better it they had said, "An alarming number of NYC students have scored three or more “zeroes” for their writing section answers on the statewide English exams."

I think the author was referring to the answers in the ‘writing’ section of the test. That’s why she referred to writing answers.
