3. Beware of distracter techniques.Test developers will often put in look-alike options, easily confusedoptions, and silly options. For example, in the “raining cats and dogs” example, choice cmay be trueaccording to the passage, but it doesn’t give the meaning of the idiom as asked in the stem. Therefore itis the wrong choice. Choice dis the silliest option and is the one you should probably eliminate first.Even if you don’t know the meaning of the idiom, you should have realized that it isan idiom and thatthe cats and dogs are not real; it is a figure of speech. Still, if you did choose this option, don’t despair.Just read more carefully next time and be aware that some choices can be tricky.
