EXCEPT Questions

An EXCEPT question flips the task: four answers do one thing, and the odd one out is correct. "Which of the following strengthens the argument EXCEPT" wants the one answer that does not strengthen. Read the stem twice before you start.

Example

Four answers support the plan and one is irrelevant. The irrelevant one is the answer.
