Is the "less common situation" question asking if I paid or my dependent paid for more than half of their living expenses and other support?

What is the exact wording?  It is generally asking if your dependent paid more than half of their own living expenses.  If so, then you would say no (assuming they did not) This is one of the rules for being able to claim them.

They cannot have paid more than half of their own expenses.
