In the test, we are asked to translate 'Also, Ken Follet used it (to write his literary works)'. At first, I translated it as 'Ken Follet la usa', but then I noticed I was being specifically asked to construct a sentence using 'se'. Assuming a passive sentence was required, I put 'Además, se usó por Ken Follet', but was corrected with 'Además, Ken Follet la usó'. Surely, there is something not quite right here?

Hola Graeme,
Sorry, part of the text in the hint didn't apply to this snippet. There was no need to use a "se" structure. The correct answer is either "la usó" or "la utilizó". I deleted that bit of hint that was not needed. I hope it is not confusing anymore.
Saludos,
Inma
