The following statements indicate reject moves[1]:
-That's not a statement. -One cannot conclude that. -That is not the way to go. -What you answered is not clear. -This is not a complete statement. -This is incomplete or not entirely correct. -This is not a complete expression. -You did not apply the rule correctly.
