I'm not sure what it is saying, I've quoted the problem verbatim. But I think the numbers and signes are to be used to combine to the solution labeled "choices."
"Student is given numbers and signs. The student is to combine the numbers and signs to get a solution that is an answer choice.
Example: 1 2 3 - x
Choices: 1; 2; 3; 4; 6"
It's still a bit unclear to me, "1" seems to be the right answer for the reasons some have said above, but I don't think third graders necessarily know order of operation. I don't think most kids who are half way through third grade would come close to getting this correct.
