How To Write A Good Wrong Answer
As you can see from these pictures, if your wrong answers have the same (or even partially same) range as the correct answer, you’ll get confusing choice options.
Also incorrect answers shouldn’t match themselves!
Now what you can do to avoid these problems.

If too many conditions are used - this might be causing errors too. In these cases use the tips below.
2. Another easy way to make wrong answers is to define them regarding the correct answer. For example:
There are two tricks here:
