  1. How to get half points back on short story quizzes • Step 1: Identify what kind of question it is that you got wrong OR • Step 2: Use the correct strategy to explain why the right answer is better than yours • “Just Look It Up” Questions need a Quote from the story showing where the author gives the correct information • “Just Think About It” Questions need to show why the right answer is better than the others (especially the one you chose) using Process of Elimination to find the Best answer “Just Look It Up” Question “Just Think About It” Question

  2. “Just Look It Up” Example 5) Montressor vows revenge because Fortunato a) threatened him c) accosted him b) humiliated him d) insulted him Proof: “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had born as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge” (5).

  3. “Just Think About It” Example 6) Which aspect of the carnival season is most important in helping Montressor get away with his crime without getting caught? a) Hundreds of people attend the event. b) It is a time of wild madness and excessive behavior. c) People wear fantastic costumes and masks in the streets. d) The damp weather at that time of year causes colds and coughs.

  4. “Just Think About It” Example • Proof: • D doesn’t prevent him at all from getting caught. • A, B, and C all could, though (lots of people, drinking, and wearing masks make two people hard to remember) • So which is the best answer? • Both A (lots of people) and C (the costumes) are part of the wild madness mentioned in B, so B covers more information than A or C alone, so B is the best answer.
