For instance, I was just doing random passages from EK 101 yesterday. Anyhow, one of the passages were talking about cults, and they had a question about tone.........
Anyhow, the two I narrowed it down to were mistrustful or disapproving. It seemed so tricky because it was like both could be true. The right answer was disapproving but I put mistrustful.
Its sorta like those lifelines with Who wants to be a millionaire. You get it down to two, and then you feel like you need another lifeline from the audience to get it to the final answer.
The other thing is I tend to second guess when I get nervous.
