TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you need to write an incorrect answer to the given question. Along with the question, you are also given the correct answer(s) and the associated paragraph. An incorrect answer should be closely related to the content of the paragraph and/or the question but will not truthfully answer the question. Your incorrect answers should be similar to the given correct answer such that it will pose a challenge for students to distinguish the two. A good incorrect answer should prevent those who skip the paragraph from answering the question. The incorrect answer should not be trivial, in the sense that they should not be easily eliminated without reading the paragraph.
PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Force is a vector.
Sent 2: What then is a vector?
Sent 3: Think about how you would give directions to a friend.
Sent 4: You would not say, just walk half a mile.
Sent 5: The person may walk a half mile in the wrong direction!
Sent 6: More information is needed.
Sent 7: You may say, follow this particular road for a half mile.
Sent 8: You may say, look for the green house on Sumter St. In both examples, you provided a direction.
Sent 9: You also gave the distance.
Sent 10: In other words, you provided a vector.
Sent 11: You did not just give a distance.
Sent 12: Both pieces of information are needed to find a location.
Sent 13: This is just like describing forces.
Sent 14: To explain forces, both size and direction are needed.
Sent 15: Notice the girl in Figure 1.1.
Sent 16: She is pushing the swing away from herself.
Sent 17: Thats the direction of the force.
Sent 18: She can give the swing a strong push or a weak push.
Question: If you know a force magnitude already, then what else do you need in order to give you the knowledge of a vector?.

SOLUTION: Pulling force.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: I wondered if that were my case--if I rode out for honour, and not for the pure pleasure of the riding.
Sent 2: And I marvelled more to see the two of us, both lovers of one lady and eager rivals, burying for the nonce our feuds, and with the same hope serving the same cause.
Sent 3: We slept the night at Aird's store, and early the next morning found Ringan.
Sent 4: A new Ringan indeed, as unlike the buccaneer I knew as he was unlike the Quaker.
Sent 5: He was now the gentleman of Breadalbane, dressed for the part with all the care of an exquisite.
Sent 6: He rode a noble roan, in his Spanish belt were stuck silver-hafted pistols, and a long sword swung at his side.
Sent 7: When I presented Grey to him, he became at once the cavalier, as precise in his speech and polite in his deportment as any Whitehall courtier.
Sent 8: They talked high and disposedly of genteel matters, and you would have thought that that red-haired pirate had lived his life among proud lords and high-heeled ladies.
Sent 9: That is ever the way of the Highlander.
Sent 10: He alters like a clear pool to every mood of the sky, so that the shallow observer might forget how deep the waters are.
Question: Who spoke of high and genteel matters.

SOLUTION: His wife.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Thelma James was a prime candidate for a real estate ripoff: She is 68, has precious little money and can't read or write.
Sent 2: "I won't lie to you.
Sent 3: I was so-o-o excited," the widow and former duplex dweller said of the purchase of her first home, a sagging frame structure on Snowden.
Sent 4: "I was glad to get me a house."Sent 5: When James realized she had been swindled she turned to Memphis Area Legal Services, which represented her in a lawsuit.
Sent 6: Now, James's monthly house notes have dropped from $796 - more than twice her monthly income - to an affordable $247.
Sent 7: Some of the people who took advantage of her through a questionable loan program were sent to jail.
Sent 8: "I don't know what I would have done without Legal Services," said James.
Sent 9: "They solved a lot of my problems."Sent 10: James is one of more than 3,000 clients served last year by MALS, which provides assistance for civil matters, such as domestic abuse and family-related problems, Social Security and Supplemental Security Income, veterans, housing and consumer fraud cases.
Sent 11: Like James, most clients are elderly or female.
Sent 12: Some are handicapped.
Sent 13: Some need medical care or veteran's benefits.
Sent 14: Some are trying to escape eviction or an abusive marriage.
Sent 15: And 87 percent live at or below poverty level.
Sent 16: Shelby County Mayor A C Wharton recently said Legal Services is important for those who, because of poverty or other struggles in life, think justice is an empty word.
Sent 17: "They must be given reason to believe that the law is for them too," said Wharton, a former executive director of MALS.
Sent 18: But MALS faces a funding crunch next year, brought on by a $200,000 shortfall from three revenue sources.
Question: How do you know that James was appreciative of the legal services she recieved?.

SOLUTION:
They solved a lot of my problems.
