Distractor pattern P2. The passage says "children of anxious mothers have twice the ADHD risk." The distractor says "most children with ADHD have anxious mothers." This reverses the inference direction — the passage talks about a subset of children (those with anxious mothers) but the distractor talks about a different subset (children with ADHD). Always check: does the distractor expand the scope or flip the direction?

• Check the scope: does the statement talk about the same group as the passage?
• Watch for direction reversals: "A affects B" ≠ "B is caused by A"
• Specific → general jumps are almost always wrong: one case ≠ a rule
• If the passage discusses a subset, the answer cannot claim the whole set

Passage: "Research shows that regular exercise reduces cardiovascular risk by 20%." Trap: "A 20% reduction in cardiovascular disease is primarily due to exercise." The passage says exercise helps; the trap says exercise is the primary factor.
