Verification of truth – "A husband is always ____ than his wife." Assess the statement's validity and pick the best completion (if any were universally true).

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:

• No universal biological or cognitive rule fixes relative height, looks, size, or intelligence between spouses.
• Individual variation and partner choice yield all combinations.

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
