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: Her career started more than 20 years ago in a garage behind a Catholic Worker soup kitchen on skid row in Los Angeles.
Sent 2: She lived on a $3-a-week stipend that she spent on pantyhose and bus fare.
Sent 3: Her law practice grew to an organization that brought in millions of dollars of damages through its cases against L.A. slumlords, allowing poor families to set up college funds and buy homes.
Sent 4: In all those years, she never lost a case.
Sent 5: When she stepped down, she had time to notice what was happening to the field of poverty law.
Sent 6: "I realized with a shock that the work had really disintegrated and we had lost a whole generation of public-interest lawyers," she said.
Sent 7: "It had gone from being an economic sacrifice as it was in my day to an economic impossibility.
Sent 8: ... The whole system has essentially collapsed."Sent 9: Mintie also started to ask questions about the medical field.
Sent 10: Almost every person who walks into a free medical clinic, she said, faces some legal problem such as an eviction or the loss of Social Security benefits.
Sent 11: And many of her clients had medical problems from living in slum housing such as cockroaches lodged in ear canals and rat bite fever, a nonfatal malady that particularly affects children.
Sent 12: Mintie noticed that health-care professionals were graduating with staggering debts and also couldn't afford to work with the poor.
Sent 13: Her work was noticed by Oprah Winfrey, who invited her on the TV show March 26, 2001.
Sent 14: Mintie received a $100,000 "Use Your Life Award" from Oprah's Angel Network, a nonprofit organization that awards money to those who help others.
Sent 15: Mintie said that all of the money has gone to her recipients -- none was spent on overhead.
Sent 16: She will be out of funds by spring.

SOLUTION: 2 years.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Fossils give clues about major geological events.
Sent 2: Fossils can also give clues about past climates.
Sent 3: Fossils of ocean animals on the top of a mountain?
Sent 4: Ocean animals have been found on the Earths tallest mountain.
Sent 5: Its hard to believe, but it is true.
Sent 6: These fossils were found at the top of Mt. Everest.
Sent 7: Mt. Everest is the highest mountain on Earth.
Sent 8: These fossils showed that this entire area was once at the bottom of a sea.
Sent 9: It can only mean that Mt. Everest was uplifted.
Sent 10: In fact, the entire Himalaya mountain range was raised.
Sent 11: It was forced up from the collision of two continents.
Sent 12: Fossils of plants are found in Antarctica.
Sent 13: Now, Antarctica is almost completely covered with ice.
Sent 14: Plants do not grow in Antarctica.
Sent 15: According to fossils, they once did.
Sent 16: This means that Antarctica was once much warmer than it is now.
Sent 17: These fossils tell us about Antarcticas past climate.
Question: What fossils are found?? where plants do not grow?.

SOLUTION: Insects.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: You write: "Having created the desired impression, Moore follows with his Heston interview."Sent 2: No, he doesn't.
Sent 3: You accuse Moore so often of changing the chronology, yet you have no problems changing it yourself.
Sent 4: The Heston interview is at the very end of the movie.
Sent 5: After the Flint rally comes a brief TV interview with Heston, where he is asked about Kayla Rolland (again, clear evidence that the local media in Flint raised questions about the NRA's presence), then an inteview with country prosecutor Arthur Busch, entirely ignored by critics of the film, who also mentions Heston's presence as notable, and refers to the immediate reactions of "people from all over America", gun owners/groups who, according to him, reacted aggressively to warnings of having guns accessible to children, much like spanking advocates react aggressively when anti-spankers point to a case of a child being killed or severely injured by a beating.
Sent 6: These people do not feel the need to express sympathy, or to think about ways to avoid such incidents, but they feel the need to assert their "rights" and to look for quick, simple answers -- as Busch states, gun owners wanted to "hang [the child] from the highest tree".
Sent 7: This is all not mentioned by critics of Moore's movie, who claim to be objective.
Sent 8: Perhaps the best example of the paranoia surrounding Moore's film is your sub-essay "Is the end of the Heston interview itself faked?"Sent 9: Moore answers a simple question -- how could the scene have been filmed -- with a simple answer: two cameras.
Sent 10: From this, you construct an obscure conspiracy of "re-enactment": "For all we can tell, Moore could have shouted 'Hey!'Sent 11: to make Heston turn around and then remained silent as Heston left."Sent 12: Even if your "re-enactment" theory is true (and I see no evidence that you have actually tried to ask the people involved in the filmmaking for their opinion), this itself is not unethical, and you have no evidence whatsoever that Moore has done anything unethical here, just like you have no evidence that Moore has unethically removed parts of the interview.
Sent 13: You use standard filmmaking technique as a basis to construct bizarre conspiracies which sound plausible to the gullible reader, without ever providing any evidence for the implicit or explicit claims of fraud and distortion.
Question: Name three criticisms of Moore's movie.

SOLUTION:
The entire movie is false.
