you to erase and change your answer. If you know the answer, read it twice and mark your answer directly, then

decide what are the two (2) that are not closely related or associated with the question. The remaining two (2) would
be your choice. In this instance at least you got a 50/50 chance of hitting the right answer. In a 10-item examinations
