This trap appears as a wrong-answer choice in 1 active question. Spotting how it is built is the repair: read each example's “why it's attractive” before the “why it's wrong.”

Subject distribution

  • Evidence1

Example wrong choices

  • 14893_scripture_trailer_coupler · EVIDENCE · Choice ANo, because there is no indication that the prior trailer-coupler citations led to convictions.

    Why it's attractive

    The answer talks about convictions, but the requested use is cross-examination about specific acts.

    Why it's wrong

    The answer talks about convictions, but the requested use is cross-examination about specific acts.

  • 14893_scripture_trailer_coupler · EVIDENCE · Choice BYes, because the two recent unsecured-coupler incidents tend to contradict Paul's claim that he towed carefully when the collision occurred.

    Why it's attractive

    Prior trips are not the same trip.

    Why it's wrong

    Prior trips are not the same trip.

  • 14893_scripture_trailer_coupler · EVIDENCE · Choice DYes, because towing with an unsecured coupler on other occasions bears on Paul's credibility, since he claims he secured the coupler before this collision.

    Why it's attractive

    Credibility is too broad; the rule asks truthfulness or true contradiction.

    Why it's wrong

    Credibility is too broad; the rule asks truthfulness or true contradiction.
