How to interpret this type of question?
If green lights decorate store 7, then each of the following statements could be false EXCEPT:
Is there any easier way for me to interpret this because I'm going through the answers and eliminating what could be false and selecting what COULD BE TRUE OR MUST BE TRUE.
What is the best way to interpret this type of question fast?

I'm selecting the answer that are the opposite of could be false and CANNOT BE TRUE. I'm eliminating could be false and cannot be true answer but yet I'm still getting it wrong... :(

Could be True EXCEPT - Incorrect Answers: could be true or must be true; Correct Answer: must be false.
Could be False EXCEPT - Incorrect Answers: could be false or must be false; Correct Answer: must be true.
Must be True EXCEPT - Incorrect Answers: must be true; Correct Answer: could be false.
Must be False EXCEPT - Incorrect Answers - must be false; Correct Answer - could be true or must be true.
Found the answer; and now I see where I messed up I was supposed to select only MUST BE TRUE.

Hi Angel92,
Good job course correcting here! This is probably the hardest way they word a question stem: "Could be false except" is wildly and unnecessarily complex. I think the fastest way to quickly see this in the future is to remember that the opposite of could be false is must be true, so a bizzaro question asking about a could be false is therefore a must be true.
