Traps
How wrong options are built.
Designed distractors
Options usually include a word from the same topic, a synonym of one of the original words, and the correct relationship reversed. All three feel plausible.
- Topic association is not a relationship: bee and flower are related and not analogous to bird and nest.
- Check the part of speech matches.
Ambiguous words
Many words have several senses, and the intended one is fixed by the pair. If nothing fits, try a different sense of the first word.
