Hawkk, all you have to do to write a question is take a rule and either, leave it alone making it true, or change a few words making it false.
No, not really. That tests whether you have memorized the rule and can recognize it. A good test question should test whether you UNDERSTAND the rule, not whether you can REPEAT the rule. That also means identifying situations where the rule does or does not apply -- like the question here which requires the test taker to recognize that another rule -- not just the obvious over and back -- has come into play.
