Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This item tests recognition of over-generalization and stereotype. The stem asserts an absolute (“always”) comparative about husbands versus wives.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
To be “always,” a property must hold for every married couple—not merely be common in some populations. None of the listed traits meets that standard.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Demographic data show distributions, not absolutes, for physical and cognitive traits.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Each proposes a universal comparative that is plainly false in many cases.
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming cultural norms (e.g., taller husband preference) create logical necessities—they do not.
Final Answer:
None of these
