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: The highest point of a wave is the crest.
Sent 2: The lowest point is the trough.
Sent 3: The vertical distance between a crest and a trough is the height of the wave.
Sent 4: Wave height is also called amplitude.
Sent 5: The horizontal distance between two crests is the wavelength.
Sent 6: Both amplitude and wavelength are measures of wave size.
Sent 7: The size of an ocean wave depends on how fast, over how great a distance, and how long the wind blows.
Sent 8: The greater each of these factors is, the bigger a wave will be.
Sent 9: Some of the biggest waves occur with hurricanes.
Sent 10: A hurricane is a storm that forms over the ocean.
Sent 11: Its winds may blow more than 150 miles per hour!
Sent 12: The winds also travel over long distances and may last for many days.
Question: Other factors being equal, why would an ocean wave be larger if the wind were blowing 150 miles per hour than if it the wind were blowing 100 miles per hour?.

SOLUTION: Wave height is also called amplitude.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: The driver of the Facel Vega car, Michel Gallimard, who was Camus's publisher and close friend, also died in the accident.
Sent 2: In August 2011, the Milan newspaper Corriere della Sera reported a theory that the writer had been the victim of a Soviet plot, but Camus's biographer, Olivier Todd, did not consider it credible.
Sent 3: Camus was buried in the Lourmarin Cemetery, Lourmarin, Vaucluse, France.
Sent 4: He was the second-youngest recipient, at the age of 44, of the Nobel Prize in Literature, after Rudyard Kipling, at the age of 42.
Sent 5: He was survived by his wife and twin son and daughter, Jean and Catherine, who hold the copyrights to his work.
Sent 6: Two of Camus's works were published posthumously.
Sent 7: The first, entitled A Happy Death (1970), featured a character named Patrice Mersault, comparable to The Stranger's Meursault.
Sent 8: There is scholarly debate as to the relationship between the two books.
Sent 9: The second was an unfinished novel, The First Man (1995), which Camus was writing before he died.
Sent 10: The novel was an autobiographical work about his childhood in Algeria.
Question: Which two books of Camus that have posed a scholarly debate?.

SOLUTION: A Happy Death and an untitled unfinished book.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: If you have a mass of 50 kg on Earth, what is your weight in newtons?
Sent 2: An object with more mass is pulled by gravity with greater force.
Sent 3: Mass and weight are closely related.
Sent 4: However, the weight of an object can change if the force of gravity changes.
Sent 5: On Earth, the force of gravity is the same everywhere.
Sent 6: So how does the force of gravity change?
Sent 7: It doesnt if you stay on Earth.
Sent 8: What if we travel to another planet or moon in our solar system?
Sent 9: Look at the photo of astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. taken by fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong in the Figure.
Sent 10: They were the first humans to walk on the moon.
Sent 11: An astronaut weighs less on the moon than he would on Earth.
Sent 12: This is because the moons gravity is weaker than Earths.
Sent 13: The astronauts mass, on the other hand, did not change.
Sent 14: He still contained the same amount of matter on the moon as he did on Earth.
Sent 15: If the astronaut weighed 175 pounds on Earth, he would have weighed only 29 pounds on the moon.
Sent 16: If his mass on Earth was 80 kg, what would his mass have been on the moon?
Sent 17: [Figure 3].
Question: Who were the first humans to walk on the moon?.

SOLUTION:
Newtons.
