Of a minor's required supervised practice hours, how many must be at night?
-
A.
10 hours Correct
-
B.
5 hours
-
C.
20 hours
The answer is "10 hours"
The manual specifies that 10 of the 50 practice hours must be at night. The figure in B comes from cutting the total in half under test pressure, a habit for guessing at a proportion when the exact split will not come to mind.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. 5 hours
Halves the actual figure, a common guess for drivers recalling the total but not the split. This answer cuts the requirement in half when the exact split does not stick, a habit under test pressure.
C. 20 hours
Overstates the manual's requirement by doubling the actual night portion. This answer inflates the night portion to a bigger fraction than the manual sets, guessing at a stricter log.
