Hey @AT280,

If I understand your questions correctly, you're asking whether some of the wrong answer choices could hint at the right answer, or if they are playing tricks on you and are meant to confuse.

Incorrect answers will always be objectively wrong. While the reasoning might not always be readily apparent, there's a persistent myth surrounding the LSAT that there are multiple correct answers, and that one must pick the most correct.

This isn't how the modern test works. Four answers will be objectively false; one answer will be objectively correct. And yes, the wrong answers will very often try and trick you! This is why a strong prephrase is so important, as it can help guide you away from potentially tricky answer choices.

Hope this helps!
