The guy that jogs at 5 in the morning versus the kid that didn’t want to wake up til noon. Literally like night and day. At least Frazz isn’t being peppy.
True-False is the simplest multiple choice option.
We had a general science teacher who ended up with that task one year when a contract discussion with a potential hire broke down… because he had a minor in “science” from when he got his PE teacher’s degree in something like 1930. There was no way you could pick the correct answer on his multi-choice tests because if they weren’t all utterly wrong, then they were all indisputably correct. We called the class “General ESP” and the tests were “multiple guess”. One example: In the chapter on hydraulic pressure, the question was “What causes water to come out of the tap in the bathroom on the second floor?” The correct (and ONLY correct) answer was “turning the handle”.
Frazz14 hrs · Funny how the options work. Sometimes, “How are you doing?” is a fine essay question, but sometimes you need it simplified to a multiple-choice question. But if you simplify it all the way down to a true/false question, it falls apart and doesn’t work at all.
When I’m having a particularly bad morning, sometimes I’ll say I’m doing great and then try to live up to the lie. Once in a while it works, but I wouldn’t recommend it for the SAT.

At my age the question has become true-false, (dead, or not yet).

In the early morning, even true/false is a challenge for me. Even with questions as simple as “Are you awake yet?”

I had a highball school friend who would greet you with “mornin’”. He never wanted to jump to conclusions.
