"delete where applicable"

Hi Teachers

I'm kind of confused with the phrase of "delete where applicable", do we delete the correct one (to show the correct choice) or delete the incorrect ones (show that they're the unwanted choices)

let's say if there are three choices e.g ( goods / foods / drinks )   ( *delete where applicable )  and I want to choose "goods" do I delete out "foods" and "drinks" OR do I delete "goods", to show I choose goods with the " *delete where applicable " text on it



Thanks

Sometimes, you will see "delete where inapplicable".

By sense, both should have the same meaning.

delete where applicable = delete where deletions are to be made and

delete where inapplicable = delete those inapplicable.
