1. Distractor Analysis
- Take one multiple-choice question from a teacher-provided or AP practice passage, with all four answer choices.
- For each wrong answer choice, write one sentence identifying which distractor type it represents: true-but-unsupported, absolute language, partially correct, or reversal of meaning.
- Write one sentence explaining specifically why the correct answer is correct — not just that the others are wrong, but what in the passage supports it.
Turn in / bring: Three distractor analyses (one sentence each) plus one-sentence correct-answer justification citing the passage.

2. Process of Elimination Drill
- Take five multiple-choice questions on one practice passage.
- For each question: read the relevant passage section first; eliminate two choices immediately using one-word labels (absolute, contradiction, unsupported); choose between the remaining two by locating the specific passage evidence that supports one and not the other.
- Write one sentence per question explaining the final distinction between the two remaining options.
Turn in / bring: Five questions with labeled two-step eliminations and one-sentence final-distinction explanations.
