How to rule out the distractors in the answer choices . Great question! There are 6 types of distractors: (1) the answer choice is the opposite of the right answer. (2) the  choice was never mentioned in the passage. It may sound plausible; nevertheless, the passage contains no evidence to support it (3) the choice is a distortion because material from another part of the passage has been incorrectly applied (4) Sounds good except for one particular word/phrase. That word invalidates the entire answer (5) Half right, half wrong (6) Fits but is not the “best” answer. This choice may be of secondary importance. It may describe part of the passage but not all.
