Hunt the distractor

Every multiple-choice question has one correct answer and three distractors. Distractors usually: repeat a word from the text, use the wrong tense, or say the opposite. Before you click, name the trap in each wrong option. That is how top scorers think.

Level up · reading · Then and Now

Ten years ago, Andrés was a shy kid who hated speaking in class. In 2016 he moved from Buenaventura to Cali and started at a new school where nobody knew him. Since then, everything has changed. He has joined the theatre club, he has performed in six plays and he has won a regional speaking contest. Last year he travelled to Bogotá for the national final and finished second. «I didn't lose», he says. «I have gained a voice.» His teachers have noticed the difference: the boy who never raised his hand has become the student who never puts it down.
