Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
"Is this necessary for the show?"
"Mom, I need this"
"Necessary" is more of a word for something being appropriate. "Need" is something that is required, more of a command word
