Trap One: The True but Irrelevant Option
Captions available
The idea
An option can state something true about the passage and still be wrong, because it does not answer the question asked. A tone question is not answered by a true remark about imagery. Truth is not the test. Responsiveness is.
In practice
True and wrong at once.
Where people slip
Check it answers the question asked.
