I was bored and I googled it and it's supposed to say "which sentence uses the word "pedant" incorrectly

Vocaloid:

dictionary.com says: noun 1. a person who makes an excessive or inappropriate display of learning. 2. a person who overemphasizes rules or minor details. 3. a person who adheres rigidly to book knowledge without regard to common sense. so, which sentence uses the word pedant in a way that DOESN'T match the definitions above?
