Example wrong choices
19228_prayer_card_study_bible · EVIDENCE · Choice ASustain the objection only if Ruth refuses to testify.
Why it's attractive
The student remembers that a spouse may have a refusal-to-testify privilege and imports that neighbor rule. The breaker is that Daniel asserts the communication privilege over the message itself.
Why it's wrong
This answers the witness-spouse refusal frame rather than Daniel’s communication-privilege objection.
Spot it next time
Separate communications privilege from testimonial refusal.
19228_prayer_card_study_bible · EVIDENCE · Choice BOverrule the objection, because the prayer-card is a document rather than a communication.
Why it's attractive
The student sees a physical prayer-card and treats the card’s format as the legal object. The breaker is that a document can embody the protected confidential communication.
Why it's wrong
This treats document status as defeating communication status.
Spot it next time
Name the protected object before naming the medium.
19228_prayer_card_study_bible · EVIDENCE · Choice DOverrule the objection, because the privilege protects only spoken words.
Why it's attractive
The student equates marital communications with spoken conversation. The breaker is the invented oral-only limit.
Why it's wrong
This invents an oral-only limitation.
Spot it next time
Treat 'only spoken words' as an invented restriction.
