Hello,
I understand that in must be true questions an incorrect answer choice is one that could be true or is possibly true, as such answers don't necessarily HAVE TO BE TRUE. However, I believe I am mixing this concept up. For example, on page 131 of the 2016 LRB (question 3), I concluded that answer choice E was correct (but using the method of elimination as I knew that A to D certainly did not have to be true). While answer choice E is indeed correct, I think my way of coming to this answer via elimination needs improvement. This is because with E I chose this answer as a "default" and I don't entirely understand why it is correct. It talks about what is possible, but I thought that in MBT questions, the answers that concern what could be true/possibly true were incorrect.
Please help!
I think I am translating the advice that "possibly true answers" are incorrect in MBT questions in the wrong way when answering MBT questions.
Thank you so much!
Ashley
