What is proper English to rephrase this sentence “I made it as correct answer”?
0
The context is like:
Person A: why is "pig" the correct answer?
Person B: Because I made it as correct answer!
Basically, I want to say I just want it to be the correct answer, that's why it is the correct answer.
Is "I made it as correct answer" proper English?
Thanks in advance

I'm not quite sure what the "as" is doing. I'd say "I made it the correct answer".

thanks very much ! I don't know why I tend to use "as" excessively. For example. I consider you as a model. I know I should omit "as"

The idiomatic expression is Because I say so!
It means that a thing is the (arbitrary) way it is because I have the power to demand that it be that way.
Dad, why do I have to go to bed at 8PM?
—Because I say so.

Another scenario is like this: I have the following behaviors proper behaviors. In a more verbose way: I decided that the following behaviors are proper behaviors.
